But can't that be just as easily done by piping through sort? (I understand
there is a platform which lacks the sort utility, boohoo)

Is there some legitimate function that depends on the order of listed
branches (or tags)?

Rather this seems like one of those things where everyone should either
welcome the functionality or be indifferent to it. Adding yet another
toggle for this sort of user-interface tweak seems like over-kill. It is
not costless, it adds complexity to the code and to the user interface.

If someone wants to list their branches alphabetically, or reverse
alphabetically, or if they only want to see branches beginning with 'BUG-',
why isn't it enough to just use the functionality provided by the command line?
