Cannot rearrange sequence of child issues within a parent

[Evgeny Mikheev]

It is not possible to (re-)arrange in manually defined sequence the child issues or sub-tasks of a parent ticket, when I open this parent ticket (image below).

The workaround is to do it from a dashboard view, but this is too cumbersome and often is not possible (e.g. child issues are in different workflow stages, i.e. have different status).

Typical example when this is needed is a ticket of release preparation with multiple sequential steps like deploy on QA, set of tests,... Or any dev story where I want to be explicit with the sequence of implementation of sub-issues / sub-tasks

Would very appreciate if you add this functionality.

Hi @Evgeny Mikheev 

Welcome to the community.

This is the Atlassian Community and not Atlassian Support.

Feature request can be raised via https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa

This will not mean that it will be implemented.

A workaround I found was to create Order # (number field) and mark every child issue with respective number and sort that field from smallest to largest.

Also have an automation that every time task with similar title is created, assign Order #.
