Jira Filter/Query with order by Backlog order/position in backlog?

[Amber Pacheco]

Hi Jira Community,

We invest a great deal of care in maintaining the backlog order in Jira, so when I filter or create a query to display a subset of the Jira backlog, I'd like to have the order of the backlog items reflect their position in the backlog. 

Is there a way to do this that I'm missing? Seems like my only "order by" options for Jira filters/queries are less meaningful to me (e.g. date created,  created by, change date etc).

Thanks!

Hi @Amber Pacheco -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If you are using the built-in ordering mechanism, please try adding ORDER BY Rank ASC to your query to preserve the order.

project = myProjectName ORDER BY Rank ASC

Kind regards,
Bill
