So why exactly is Community Development the default Jira project?

[Kathey Marsden <km...@sbcglobal.net>]

Perhaps this has been answered before, but I was wondering why we bubble 
to the top of the project list when creating a new Jira issue. The rest 
of the projects seem alphabetized.   Is this something we can file an 
infrastructure issue for or is it expected?

Thanks

I tried as an experiment doing a search on another project and then did 
indeed find that when I created a new issue immediately afterward the 
default was that project, but there seems to be a little more going on.  
Still in the alphabetical list if I hit the drop down menu Community 
Development bubbled up to the top instead of showing up under C..., so I 
think if the user has not done any recent queries then it will still 
default to Community Development because of the alpha order.

I think what is happening is that because since, for come reason, 
Community Development comes first in the list of projects it has reset 
peoples default when it was created. People are just used to the default 
being their favourite project and don't look when filing new issues.

If this is correct then, over time, the problem will go away.

I had same question sent to infra before :)
It seems the default is the one you have used/searched/ before... so
it changes depending on what you have been doing...
