When a series of issues have been linked together using the "Link" feature, it is possible, when in the individual issue view, to see its dependancies and dependants and move to these by clicking on the required linked issue.

When the issues are displayed, say using the ALL filter, then they can be ordered by the displayed columns (click on the column).

But there is no column for "links" or link order, so it is not possible to see the issues, ordered by their link order.

This makes using links pretty hard since theres no sensible way to see the order and hence for folks to execute the issuess in the required order without a lot of point and click actions.
