Description
alertmanager currently groups alerts without a consistent ordering, which is tough to follow for large groups.
The user should be able to specify a sort order on some label or annotation, which would give consistency and locally meaningful sorting. This could be done with a Go sort function in the template or with a alertmanager configuration entry perhaps.
