Issue Forms requests the available fields when rendering the create form from Jira. Unfortunately this list is not sorted and can differ from call to call.

For this reason, we sort the fields as follows:

• First the mandatory fields sorted alphabetically

• then the non mandatory fields sorted alphabetically

• and lastly the comment field

Version 2.4.0 introduces a extended Rest endpoint. The field sorting within the automatically rendered create form can be changed using this Rest endpoint.
