Created attachment 195387 [details] Screenshot of issue Eclipse EGit (Incubation) 0.12.1 org.eclipse.egit.feature.group Eclipse JGit (Incubation) 0.12.1 org.eclipse.jgit.feature.group The Tag / Branch selection dialog used for selection a tag / branch to compare with and 'checkout' sorts names lexicographically. With ascending version numbers, this produces an order where more recent branches / tags are at the bottom. Having them sorted by date, or alternatively add a 'recent' meta group to the tags and branches would allow the developer to more easily focus on branches she's likely to want to switch to.
