Plan views : be able to sort items on the work item summary

Context: When plans have many work items displayed, it is sometimes way easier to have them sorted by "summary" (title)

Problem: 

  • No way to do this by default, user must click on the column header for this filter to apply in a view (see screenshot)
  • Today, only enumerated attributes can be used for sorting in views

Impact: loss of time and user experience

Goal of the idea: Add summary to the list of possible attributes for sorting work items in a view

Why it is useful ? Save time for users

How should it work ? Offer to sort attributes that are not enumerated in the views (alphabetical order, date order, etc.)
