force ORDER sequence ?

[Sandra Lawrence]

I am interested in sorting my filter by a certain order of STATUS.  something like this:

project = PMMSS and type = task and assignee = "sandy" ORDER BY STATUS ("In Progress", "To Do"), UPDATED DESC

I am getting an error - what am I doing wrong?

Hi @Sandra Lawrence ,

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.

Could you please try out this one - project = PMMSS and type = task and status in ("In Progress", "To Do") and assignee = Sandy order by status desc ?

Please accept the answer if it solves your query else respond and allow others to share input.

Cheers

Super!  Now I have another filter question: How do I add an additional ORDER by Epic Name?  I try to put an order by Epic Name -- but it does not sort this way? 

What am I missing?

project = PMMSS and type = task and assignee = "Sandy" and status in ("In Progress", "To Do")  ORDER BY "EPIC NAME"

Hi @Sandra Lawrence ,

Thanks for responding.

Are you trying to search issues that belong to particular EPIC in a company managed project then issue you should use epic link - https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/advanced-search-reference-jql-fields/ ?
