Please does anyone know how to put the spaces (whilst in their directory) into a specific order that can always appear in that same order? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi @Natalie Keane 

Do you mean in the Spaces overview, all spaces in Jira, no this is alphabetically.

Personal you can star spaces, to have your own default and you can drag and drop ofr a certain order in the mail (left toolbar), but this is user based.

If you mean arranging files or folders so that entries containing spaces appear in a particular order, the exact solution depends on the file manager or command-line tool you're using.

If this is a shell command, spaces normally don't have any special sorting priority by themselves; the sorting behavior depends on the command and locale. You can often get a predictable order by using an explicit sort option or by naming files with prefixes such as 01_, 02_, 03_, etc.

If you're trying to control the order of directories in a graphical file manager, adding a consistent prefix is usually the simplest approach because it doesn't depend on how the application interprets spaces.

If you share the command or a small example of the directory contents and the order you want, someone can give you the exact syntax.

Hi @Natalie Keane ,

Any chance you can provide some additional details (or examples) of what you're referring to? 

I'm not sure whether you're referring to the user directory or some other entity within Jira 👀
Note that this landed in Jira Q&A section in the forum so I'm guessing the question is somewhat related to this app.

Cheers,
Tobi
