Is there a way to control the order of the tickets within a column in an active sprint scrum board?

Holly Schomann_lcpysz

Is there a way to order the tickets in a particular column in an active sprint so that the highest priority tickets appear at the top of the column? We have QA as part of our workflow, and it would be helpful to have the highest priority tickets automatically appear at the top of that column in the active sprint scrum board.

thanks

Hi Holly - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The easiest (and probably best) way is to create a swimlane for the highest priority.

Thank you! How can I create a swim lane based on priority? Right now I see the option to create swim lanes by queries, stories, epics, assignees etc. I didn't see any option for creating a new swim lane 'filter'.

thanks again for your help.

You would use the queries. That's basically a filter. :-)

So something like Priority = Highest (or whatever value you have)

thank you!!

Hello @Holly Schomann

Scrum boards typically order issues based on RANK. Rank is the "relative prioritization" of issues with respect to each other.

The order in which your issues appear in the Backlog screen is their Ranking, i.e. relative priority.

This article discusses Ranking.

It used to be that filters for Scrum Boards had to have "ORDER BY Rank", and I assume that is still the case. See this other post in this community:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/qa-p/jira-software-questions

I don't think you can implement any other sort of ordering for a Scrum Agile Board, except artificially using swim lanes, as @John Funk suggested.
