How can I get the Remote list sort order to stick?

[Han Sooloo]

Use Case:

I have 3 different repos that correspond to the stages of the pipeline, e.g., `remote-dev`, `remote-test`, and `remote-dev`.  I will typically Push to these remotes in order as I progress through the development flow.

Problem:

When I created the remotes initially, I forgot to give them a numerical prefix to indicate the order, so now they look like `remote-test`, `remote-dev`, and `remote-dev`.  They are neither in AZ nor any other lexical order ... essentially they are in a random order.

As a result, the Push to repository drop down DOES NOT sort the remote names according to AZ order making me select an item out of its natural order.

I would like SourceTree to respect the AZ order or remember the sort order when I set it in the Remote settings dialog.

Ask:

How can I define a sort order that SourceTree WILL RESPECT in the Push to repository drop down?

I have tried to `grep` for the repository names in my entire disk and didn't find them .. which makes me think there is some other data SourceTree uses to sort the items.

@Han Sooloo welcome to the Atlassian community

I believe it sorts by the last used repo.  So, the oldest accessed repo will be at the bottom. I am not aware of a way to change this.

It is not about the access order.  What I see is that it is creation order.
