How to set up ranking by priorities (backlog and board)

[Victoria]

Hi everyone

I'm interested if it possible in Jira Cloud to add sorting by priorities on the board and backlog not manually (drag and drop) but using a filter.
For example, on the board and backlog there is already the possibility of sorting by epics, versions, tags and types (screenshot attached). I would like to have priorities in there. I looked for a solution by myself, but did not find it.

I working with scrum board.
I know about creating the filter, but it is not suitable for my team.

Hello @Victoria 

I have the same problem, the backlog of the board was not sorted by priority although I used exactly the same filter query: "project = PROJECTNAME ORDER BY priority DESC.It stays unsorted.  After deleting the filter, missing the board twice and renewed it also twice I was successful with the following:

I open the board / configure / filter settings and changed the filter query in the search line to project = PROJECTNAME ORDER BY priority DESC. Than I send ENTER and through that, the save-button was enabled. I clicked on it and so I saved my changes.

Now its working fine and the backlog is automatically sorted by priority.

And regarding filtering by priorities:

You can use ORDER BY priority DESC to show the highest priority issues in your search first. The order in which priorities appear is based on the priority scheme configuration for that project, so if "Critical" is considered the highest-listed priority in your project's configuration, they should appear first.

I hope it helps
