Influence the order of lined work items (or at least sort them by work item id)

in case there are a lot of linked work items, those work items are not ordered in any way. The best solution would be to allow sorting by the users, but at least those work items should be sorted by work item id. Otherwise it is extremely difficul...

By default a users profile shows a work week of 8 hours per day and the system uses 6:24 per day from the master template to calculate their capacity. If the user changes their work week, saves it, then changes it back to 8 hours a day it will look like the user hasn't made any changes. Because the profile has been edited and then returned to it's original state it will use the work week settings from the profile instead of the master template. Example: - Capacity of user with work week of 8,8,8,8,8 who has not edited their profile = 32 hours - Capacity of user with work week of 8,8,8,8,8 who has previously edited their work week in their profile = 40 hours is there a way to "reset" a users profile so it looks like it hasn't been edited?
