    Description

      NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding bug report.

      I am using JIRA Cloud and noticed that components are sorted by ASCII order, not alphabetical order, when determining the default assignee of a newly created bug. This contradicts the documentation at https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/defining-a-component-185729533.html . That documentation states:

      ```
      If an issue has multiple components, and the default assignees of components clash, the assignee will be set to the default assignee of the component that is first alphabetically.
      ```

      Reproduction steps:

      1. Create a component called 'a'
      2. Create a component called 'B'
      3. Assign Person 1 as the default assignee for component 'a'.
      4. Assign Person 2 as the default assignee for component 'B'.
      5. Create a new bug that affects both the 'a' and 'B' components.
      6. Person 2 is now the assignee for the bug, rather than the expected Person1.
