How do I sort by each parent level when doing a recursive query to look at children?

[Donald Schafer]

issueFunction in linkedIssuesOfRecursive("project=wxyz")

Seems to list all links to issues.  How do I sort them in Parent order?  

[Patty Land]

If I understand correctly, you want to order the results of the query in this type of way, right?

Parent

   Child

      Grandchild

Parent

   Child

      Grandchild

      Grandchild

If you have access to a plugin like BigPicture or Structure, you could pull in this query as your filter, it will display your issues in a hierarchy, and you can export from this view. If you frequently structure your data in a hierarchy like this using issue links, I highly recommend a plugin like these to give you this hierarchical view of your data.
