Description

gitui seems to support default order(lex-asc) by branch name only.

It will be very helpful when support options to change branch.sort config (e.g. git branch --sort -committerdate)

Research direction
Investigate how gitui currently lists branches, likely in a module like 'branch' or 'ui'. Look for existing handling of git config, possibly in 'git' or 'config' modules. The feature requires reading the 'branch.sort' config value and applying sorting to the branch list display. Check if there are any existing sorting utilities used elsewhere in the codebase.
