Default Order of links in view columns

Currently, when a requirement artifact in DOORS Next is linked to multiple test cases , work items, or other artifacts, the linked items are displayed in what appears to be a random order, when added to view column grid.This behaviour makes it difficult for users to scan , review or validate traceability especially in cases where a requirement is linked to a large number of related artifacts.

We propose that DOORS Next introduce a consistent default order for displayed linked artifacts in view grid columns other than random order. Specifically, we would like the linked artifacts to de displayed in order by title as the default order.


Business Impact

Lot of time is spent by users manually revalidating existing links
