+  If you're tired of your git branches being alphabetically sorted, you can
+  change that!

+
+Normally when you run `git branch` on a repository, you get your list of branches in alphabetical order, which can be very annoying if you have a lot of them (unless you have a very rigid naming system by ticket number or something).
+
+You can change that now!
+
+In your repo, if you do:
+
+```shell
+git branch --sort=-committerdate
+```
+
+This will sort all of your branches by the date of their last commit!
+
+You can sort by:
+
+* `authordate`
+* `committerdate`
+* `creatordate`
+* `objectsize`
+* `taggerdate`
+
+Plus, you can also do this globally if you want to always do it by one of these, like so:
+
+```shell
+git config --global branch.sort -committerdate
+```
+
+Or, you could set an alias:
+
+```shell
+git config --global alias.brcd "branch --sort=-committerdate"
+```
+
+Now go on and git committing!
