Link on Assigned to Me portlet uses a different sort order than the portlet itself

If I add an "Assigned To Me" portlet to my dashboard, it appears to display issues on the dashboard as if "Sorted by: Priority descending, then Created ascending". If I click the link labeled "Assigned To Me" in the portlet, I see an Issue Navigator displaying issues with only "Sorted by: Priority descending". Not having the issues appear in the same order makes it harder to locate the issue when jumping between the two views.
