Jira Portfolio: what determines the order of projects shown?

Question

I'm using the the Jira Portfolio plugin to produce a Gantt chart. I've included issues from several projects.

Projects are shown in a very specific order, that's non-alpanumeric, e.g. Project B then Project A below.

How is it determined? How can I influence it?

@Felix Kaiser  I just created a whole bunch of new projects at the same time and added them to a new portfolio plan - it appears that they are in the order that the projects were created. It doesn't appear to be possible to re-order them

@somethingblue, shameless push.

Thanks, Branden. I'm not looking at the order or issues (epics, stories, ...) but of projects. So the vertical order, not the horizontal one.

In the following screenshot, you can see that project PLAT comes before IOS wich comes before ADR. Is this order influenced by the epics contained? If so, I'll re-read the linked post.

In the past I haven't seen a different in project order, regardless of the issues from these projects displayed. Also I couldn't influence it by changing the issue source. I would expect the project to be displayed in alphanumeric order.
