Work items positioning within children field in Work Items Hierarchy Widget

Final Choice

Child entries in Work Items Hierarchy Widget GraphQL API response should be sorted by creation date

Discussion Summary

Currently when hierarchy's children are fetched, no ordering is specified. It would be good to return these in a specific order.

Proposals

1. No change: the current order is by creation date.
2. Title
3. Relative position

Final Option to move forward and reasoning behind that

Reasoning

• We have separate #370401 (closed) for manual reordering and the third option (default order by Relative Position, backend part) will be addressed shortly.
• Ordering by created_at in the current Work Item Hierarchy widget is the most consistent way and it makes the second option (default order by Title) not preferable. Ref: !92056 (comment 1023017885)
