As an automation rule writer
I want the ability to sort a smart value list
So that I can access specific values from the list in my desired ordering

Acceptance criteria:

• add a new function, sort() to manage smart value list items
• accepts an attribute of the list to sort the list
  • Example: {{{{{}issue.fixVersions.sort(name)}}}}
• accepts an optional parameter to control ascending or descending sorts, with a default value of ASC
  • Example: {{{{{}issue.fixVersions.sort(name, "DESC")}}}}
• Bonus feature: multiple criteria can be specified for the sort order
  • Example: {{{{{}issue.fixVersions.sort(releaseDate, "DESC", name, "ASC")}}}}
• Bonus feature: another smart value can be provided to describe the sort criteria
  • Example:
    • created variable of varSort = "name, 'DESC'" 
    • {{ {{issue.fixVersions.sort(varSort)}}}}

Business case:

Using the min() and max() functions, it is possible to capture a specific value from a list (such as by dates), and then use that in a created variable with list filtering to extract a desired list value(s).  However I do not believe there is a way to return the entire list in a desired order.  A sort() function could simplify rules which need to identify all attributes of a smart value list item, given the first, last, etc. conditions for a particular sort ordering.
