Sort order of issues/PR

[fredericDelaporte]

The issues and PRs list is sorted by issue/PR number, ascending.

Is there a way to sort them in descending order?

As far as I know, GitReleaseManager does not have a built-in way to configure sorting.

Maybe it's possible to create a custom Scriban template (Scriban is the templating engine used by GitReleaseManager to convert rows of data into text) where you manipulate the data to sort it the way you want but I don't know enough about this templating engine to say definitely. Maybe @gep13 knows?

Having said that, even if you could write such a custom template, I find that to be a needlessly complicated step to accomplish such a straightforward task. It would be much more convenient if there was a way to indicate our sorting preferences in the GitReleaseManager config file.

How about this idea: enhance the current configuration to allow developers to specify which field they want to use for sorting purposes (we would determine a short list of possible fields such as Title and Id for example), and also allow developers to specify if they want to sort in ascending or descending order.

I am envisioning something like this:
(notice the two lines at the bottom of this sample)

create:
  include-footer: false
  footer-heading: Where to get it
  footer-content: You can download this release from [nuget.org](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ZoomNet/{milestone})
  footer-includes-milestone: true
  milestone-replace-text: '{milestone}'
  include-contributors: true
  sort-issues-by: Title
  sort-issues-direction: Descending

I'm volunteering to work on his enhancement.
