I want to sort the backlog so the latest issues are up top. I've read several answers here and I've tried adding my own filter queries like

ORDER BY updatedDate DESC

ORDER BY createdDate DESC

but these do not have any effect.

How do I achieve this? It would really make the backlog a lot more functional for me.

Hello @Kristjan Skutta 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Those don't work because createdDate and updatedDate are not valid fields. The field names are created and updated.

However if you change the board filter to order by anything other than Rank then you will not be able to drag-and-drop the issues to reorder them.
