Hello, we have a filter by assignee that we are attempting to sort by fix version, but its not sorting correctly.  We have them all named the same, but the sort order either ASC or DESC is not working.  Shows up at 62, 65, 66, 63 instead of 62, 63, 65, 66.

I found an article that says to sort the order on the releases page, but that functionality does not see available to us. 

Any help would be great.

Sadly, fix version/s is not filtering through its name or release date; it is sorting by its order on "Versions" page. So, at this moment, it is not possible without changing the order of Versions, as suggested here.

Also, there is an open ticket to be able to sort by release date, so you can vote for it.

 

As a workaround, if you have ScriptRunner plugin, you can create a Scripted Field that gets the value of "Fix Version/s" field and return it as String (or Number, depend on your choice). With this way, you can sort the issues by using this newly created script field.

Hi @Lisa Hill

welcome to the community!

If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, this would work as described in the app that my team is working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. For versions, sorting works based on the version name, like so:

For more advanced use cases, you can also view and sort by e.g. the version release date, the version description, etc.

I should also add that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable issue hierarchies, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
