Proposal
In !142519 (merged) we're changing how Assignee sorting works on work items, which will include epics (with Assignee as a new feature), issues, tasks, etc. Previously Assignees were sorted by user ID, which is not likely known by many users, giving the appearance of a randomly sorted list. Now Assignees are sorted by the displayed name giving users the ability to follow the sorting if needed to find a name. This also follows Labels sorting behavior, which sorts on label name (w/ scoped grouped).
Merge request assignees and reviewers appear to also be sorted by user id. Sorting these by name will bring these widgets into alignment and provide a more logical sorting for users to follow.
