Nodes in the tree are reverse alpha sorted; it would be better if they were alpha sorted.
I cannot think of a use case that would benefit from any other sort order nor any other sorting from any other column.
I retract this request. You can toss this in the round file;-). We do not need this since we can simply supply the ‘ORDER BY’ operator against a filter, or direct JQL statement, to order the data as desired. I forgot about this when I posted this suggestion last month.
