Bad menu UX

Discussion Details

When I select an Actions job in a long job name list, then GitHub reorders the list, breaking alphabetic sorting. This happens on the /actions page of repositories.

The reordering is jarring.

The reordering breaks common workflows of checking items top to bottom.

Please do not reorder CI/CD lists when selecting arbitrary items in a list.

The UX glitch appears to be caused by questionable code in the "Show more workflows..." rollup element.

This glitch wouldn't have happened in the first place, if we simply showed the entire job list by default, instead of trying to be fancy and truncating the list. I don't see the value in hiding my own Actions from me. Just show the full list.

Computers exist to automate, not introduce extra clicks.
