if git_version >= 2.7.0:
git branch --sort=-committerdate

else:
git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate refs/heads/

I got the above from the top answer to this StackOverflow question:

The plugin does not use native git commands but it uses the API defined in the interface GitClient
Currently this API does not allowed sorting via "--sort=-taggerdate".
Additionally in version 0.8.0 I’ve switched from operating on updating repository to ls-remote commend (I use method getRemoteReferences from API) when getting tags or branch.
