Negative lead times - What is it telling me?

[arcotek]

Hi,

I've mapped out my dependencies, run auto-scheduler and everything looks good, except I don't understand why some issues on the Gantt chart have red circles with numbers in. I understand the number represents the number of blockers, but the ones in red have a negative lead time. How do you have a negative lead time? What is it telling me?

Whilst writing, can I also ask if there is a way to sort by issue name rather than key? Setting incoming and outgoing dependencies is rather fiddly and time-consuming. Being able to sort by the actual issue name would speed things up - unless there's an easier way.

T.I.A,

W.
