Python script to sort JIRA versions. Sorts "lineages" of versions. A lineage is defined by user-provided predicate on the name of the version. The sorting is done using user-provided comparator.

Tested only on JIRA server v7.1.6.

• python3 is installed.
• pip3 package requests is installed.
• Your JIRA account has permission to edit JIRA versions.
• You have a certificate file, needed to access the JIRA website.

1. Manually make sure that all first builds in a lineage are positioned properly.
2. You have to provide file config.py with following properties:

   my_user_name = "<your JIRA login>"
   jira_url = "<URL of the JIRA server>"
   verify = "path/to/certificate/file"
   

3. Choose which project to sort by uncommenting one of the lines at the bottom of jira_versions.py, or writing your own call to clean_up_release().
4. Launch the script using python3 jira_versions.py or ./jira_versions.py. The script will ask your JIRA password for authentication.
