Tickers for portfolio headlines

Recent portfolio update changed the order of tickers for portfolio related articles/headlines to alphabetical. There are only 2 listed - please switch back to the order that started with relevant tickers from the portfolio. Presently, for an article that touches on multiple tickers it's impossible to see relevant portfolio tickers without actually opening the article.

Some additional input. A long list of tickers in an article ends with 3 dots. Unfortunately, clicking on those dots goes to the dedicated page for the first hidden ticker rather than showing me all such hidden tickers. That "feature" in conjunction with you removing relevant tickers from the portfolio-relevant article list (whenever there are more than 2 covered, perhaps temporarily while you work on a longer term solution) makes it impossible to understand the article's relevance without reading the complete article. I can't speak for everyone, but I personally has too much to read and appreciate when I can *easily* focus on what I find important instead of going through a collection of marginally relevant information. Some names are well covered (some even too much), and for others every nugget of information is welcomed. SA cannot possible know what I decide to open what to skip. Don't try to work on some "smart" approach - give me a clear "link" (tickers) between my portfolio and article and let me chose. Sorry for this long post.

Thanks for the feedback,  I am working on the new article page for mobile web and apps which will (in H1 2020) be shared across mobile and website.  I am going to create a task to support expanding to show the full list of symbols when clicking the abbreviated list.
