Sort Epic based swimlanes by labels on the epics

[Malte Larsson]

Hi, 

I have a Kanban board with swim lanes based on Epics. I would like to sort epics with a quick filter based on the labels on the Epics.

If I sort with a quick filter like "labels = Epic_label_1" it will only show items with that label. 
I don't want to put the label on every item, only on the Epic. 

Is that possible? 

Kind regards

Found a workaround. 
Implemented automations rules so the Epic and its items always has the same labels

Quick filters don’t sort issues they filter them. So I’m a bit confused on exactly what your goal is. Can you please restate exactly what you’re trying to achieve?

Hi Jack, 
Thanks for your reply. 

Think I used the word "Sort" in the wrong way, I mean to filter my board. 

I have a Kanban board with swim lanes based on Epics. 
I would like to create a "Quick filter" for my board that filter out epics based on their labels.
But I want to see the stories and task connected to the epic (with the label of the filter) whether or not if they have the label

I want to do this to avoid having to put labels on all items in the project. 

Kind regards
