How do I sort issues based on how many days they have been in a swimlane?

Julia Nyback

On my Kanban board, I have two different swimlanes for two different stages of when my team is involved in the company workflow. 

I would like to sort these swimlanes, top to bottom, based on how many days the issues have been there. Is that possible? Either by creating a quick filter, or by using some sort of sorting method? 

Hovering over the dots on each issue is too time consuming and inefficient when we have 200 issues on the board. 

Thank you for your help!

Hello Julia,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

It is not possible to sort the issues based on the date it was added in the swimlane directly, however, you may achieve this same results using any other parameters/fields that were changed once the issue was added to the Swimlane.

To further investigate and check if this is an option, could you please let us know what is the parameter you are using in your Swimlanes? You can check this at Board settings > Swimlanes.

Let me give you an example:

Let's suppose one of your swimlanes is based on the following query:

status = "In progress"

you could add the following parameter to reorder the issues in your swimlane:

order by "[CHART] Time in Status"

Let me know if this information helps.
