Sort Issues Alphabetically

[dynamicdoyle]

I title my issues like a hierarchy.
However, I can't sort alphabetically, so it's difficult keeping them organized.

Examples:
HEADER | NAV | Broken Anchor Link...
HOME | HERO | Webm Auto Loop Playback Freezes...
FOOTER | NAV | Missing Link...

these are the advanced features that might help

I think the closest one is using Labels and sorting by date

Searching in:title is helpful thanks.
Regarding your other comments:
Unfortunately, I use labels as tags in a different manner. Trying to merge all of my issue naming hierarchies into tags would inundate or reduce the usability of labels for me.
I tried sorting by date, but unfortunately I don't create issues over time while following my hierarchies alphabetically, so it didn't really help.

If you organize your issues into a GitHub Project list view, you can sort by the issue title.

Unfortunately I migrated my repo to another org and the projects didn't come with it, so I had to recreate and link the issues to those projects all over.
If I had been able to sort by the issue title in the first place, then it would have saved me a lot of time recreating the projects with the remaining issues.

Can this question be voted as a feature request?
Or can I branch and pull this functionality to GitHub myself somewhere?

Hi there - with the Product Feedback label on this discussion, it will be categorized as a feature request 😄

I would love this feature and will do what I can to spread the word so we can get some more up-votes on this.

This feature is very much needed. I'm surprised that github always implements complex, "clever" sorting methods but almost never alphabetical sorting. It took years until org repos could be sorted alphabetically, and the order doesn't even stick.

If we sort by name, searching becomes easier (searching in a sorted list is log n and requires less attention that searching in a list that is not alphabetically sorted). Also, since we can customize the names at will, it gives us the ability to customize the order.

[Elliria]

I agree. A sorted list is a more natural environment for us to navigate in and, as you said, we can customize the sorting further by the names we use.

Yes please!

Please add this - sorting by title seems like a fairly basic feature and hopefully easy to implement
