Maybe I am missing something here but I simply cannot find any reasonable explanation why VSTS 2008 sorts labels alphabetically and gives me NO CLUE as to the date the label was taken:
Additionally I can find no way to GET a specific version to some other place in my disk. Maybe there is, but if it is not easily findable by someone with my experience then "Funny Software" it is.
When I do "History" then I only see changesets but not the labels: Funny Software.
So, unless someone comes to the rescue of VSTS, I file this under Funny Software :-P
Have fun,

Perhaps it's the same reason that Visual Studio has, to show the enum values in the Class View window, in alphabetical order... They do care about their alphabet, you have to hand it to them! ;-)

Because a label can be applied at different times to different files.
Mind you PVCS doesn't even keep track of time a label is applied to specific file, so you are not alone.
