Nightly menu bar window sort order

macOS Ventura 13.0 Running Nightly 108.0a1 for over a week when today a window pops up saying that I have a new version and I should restart Nightly, so I do.

Afterwards, when I check my version, it hasn't changed; it's still 108.0a1.

However, the thing that has changed is that when I go to menu bar -> Window the list of windows is now sorted alphabetically whereas prior to the 'change' they were sorted in the order that they were created, which is what I wanted. I can't find a setting where I can change this behaviour back. Any ideas?

As extra info: When I look at my Firefox 106.0.5 browser, the windows are still sorted in create date order. I hope it stays that way.

Nightly updates twice per day, so you will get a lot more of such update notifications.

What reasons did you have to switch to Nightly builds ?

Instead of questioning my use of a published Mozilla product, how about trying to answer my question?

I am not concerned about the twice daily updates - that's to be expected - I was merely giving background to the issue, which is the change from sorting windows by create date to sorting alphabetically.
