    Description

      Jira names stories as PROJECT-<number>. It is a good practice to name matching development branches as PROJECT-<number>_<some description>

      In the list of branches those branches are in alphabetical order of the entire string of a name.

      • PROJ-1
      • PROJ-10
      • PROJ-11
      • PROJ-2
      • PROJ-20
      • ...
      • PROJ-8866
      • PROJ-8867

      This order is not logical and when corporate repository has few thousands branches, it is keeping the latest most likely active branches ( e.g. PROJ-8867 )very far down 

      I propose to sort branches treating their names as a set of 3 fields

      1. <project> - ascending
      2. <number> - descending - it would place work on more recent Jiras on top 
      3. <rest of the text> - ascending

      In this case branches from the list above would be sorted as

      • PROJ-8867
      • PROJ-8866
      • ...
      • PROJ-20
      • PROJ-11
      • PROJ-10
      • PROJ-2
      • PROJ-1

      Now branches are really in proper order and newer branches are easy to reach on top.
