When sorting issues by Status in a filter, how to list "To Do" items first?

[Meredith Moritz]

I am creating confluence pages based on filters, and I would like to list my issues so they are grouped by Status (To Do, In Progress and Done), but for some reason the In Development issues are listed before the To Do ones when I sort by status. Is there a way I can configure this to list the "To Do" issues first?

Thank you! :)

Hi @Meredith Moritz   Welcome to the community!

You can sort by the StatusCategory field and that should work to put the issues in To Do, In Progress, and Done status order.

Best regards,

Bill

Exactly what I wanted to do, thank you!

Works great also in jira jql filters!
