The way that the List View sorting was developed is not logical at all. I have spoken with support and they confirmed that when sorting by Opportunity Stage, it sorts the stages in ALPHABETICAL ORDER.

I cannot think of a single reason you would want to sort by alphabetical order, but I can think of lots of reasons you'd want to sort by the actual order of the pipeline.

Please fix this. It's bad design.

(I know I can work around by naming stages "A - New Lead", "B - Hot Lead", and so forth, but this is an illogical feature regardless)
