This is an example of Storybook issue 17665.
Stories are not sorted according to their export order. Instead, they are sorted alphabetically. This behavior occurs in both local and production.
#15574 describes a similar issue: stories were sorted in export order locally but alphabetical order in production. A fix was released 6.4.0, and now stories are sorted in alphabetical order in both local and production. Expected behavior: stories should be sorted in export order in local and production. I'm still experiencing this issue in 6.5.0-alpha.55.
Run yarn storybook
to start Storybook in dev mode, or run yarn build-storybook && npx serve storybook-static
. In either cases, stories appear in alphabetical order (Story A, Story B, Story C). This behavior appears to be a bug.
