Sort and put filters in folders

[Murat Sahan]

Hi guys. I think this might be an old topic but couldnt find the old posts. 

Here is the ting we have a lot of filters in our jira (35 pages - so far), is there anyway to sort them and put them in folders preferably  alphabetically? 

Thanks a lot for any suggestions

Hi @Murat Sahan 

There is no such function in Jira.

Unfortunately not

Hello @Murat Sahan ,

Currently there is no such feature natively in Jira. Perhaps there is a third party app that would help with that, but I've have not seen any mention of such an app.

Thanks but I had a look at the marketplace and could not find what I needed.

Hi @Murat Sahan

to the best of my knowledge, this isn't available in Jira, at least not out of the box. This being said, if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you'll have options available.

E.g., you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on: JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets.

Every so-called sheet in JXL is powered by a JQL statement - in a sense, it is like a supercharged filter. As you can have as many sheets as you want per project, and organise your sheets in an arbitrarily deep folder structure, you should be able to implement your vision very nicely.

This is how it looks in action:

As you can see above, you can also sort your sheets by different criteria, e.g. alphabetically based on their title.

I should also add that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable issue hierarchies, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Thanks for the suggestion but I am afraid that your app is a bit too complex for our needs and the cost is prohibiting.
