How to ensure Issue dependencies are displayed in correct order in scope pane of Portfolio?

Question

Hi. I'm setting up my first Portfolio and have the Epics and Issues (Stories) displayed fine. Inside one Epic I have 2 issues that must be completed before the remaining stories (over 10) can be started. I have therefore created dependencies where the two issues "block" the remaining 10+. The problem I see is that when I recalculate the schedule the 2 issues are placed into a sprint after the 10+. i.e. In the wrong order.

Is this expected behaviour? How can I ensure that the 2 issues that must come first are displayed and scheduled before the remaining 10?

I found out its a setting a JIRA administrator can change: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiraportfolioserver/managing-portfolio-dependencies-802170496.html

I'm having the exact same issue. Was this ever resolved?

Fix versions are not set. Checked them all. Have been playing around with the scheduling toggles and not getting much joy. It almost feels like the dependency needs to be set the other way around, which is the opposite to what we might see as intuitive.
