Description

Problem Statement

In the version selector shown when resolving an issue in a specific release, releases currently default to publish date ordering rather than semantic versioning.

This causes visual confusion when older build numbers are published after newer ones - for example, a customer seeing release@1.0.0+144136 appear above release@1.0.0+144150 simply because the former was published more recently.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the version selector used when resolving an issue in a release and the code that orders its releases. Confirm the current publish-date ordering, then verify that the selector displays releases in semantic-version order, including build numbers such as 1.0.0+144136 and 1.0.0+144150.
