confused documentation issue ranking

karim -Atlassway-

Hello team

 

I need to rank my issues in backlog with priority , so i followed this documentation below from atlassian site .

Enabling ranking

1. Go to your board, then select more (•••) > Board settings.
   
   Note that only the administrator of a board (or a person with the 'Jira Administrators' global permission) can configure a board.

2. Click the Add Rank button. This will append the following to your filter's query, with ORDER BY Rank ASC as the default setting:
   
   ORDER BY Rank ASC
   
   You can also rank issues by other issue properties — for example, <strong>priority<span>&nbsp;</span></strong>or<strong><span>&nbsp;</span>issuetype</strong>.
   
   ORDER BY priority DESC
   
   ORDER BY issuetype DESC

Based on this documentation i changed my board filter (ORDER BY priority DESC) i t works fine , my issues now are organised with priority , but the problem is i can not create a sprint error = the board must be ordered by rank in order to add a sprint . So if i click to add rank in board it will delete (ORDER BY priority DESC) and adding Rank ASC .

 

Can someone help me please ?

 

Thank you

Hi Karim - The short answer is your are not going to be able to have it both ways on a single board. 

My suggestion would be to create a second board for your Backlog ranking by priority. And then have your regular board with ORDER BY Rank for adding/managing your sprints.
