Is it possible to organise issues in a given column based on priority (or better still a value from a custom field)?

JIRA v6.4.9 with Agile. 

Currently, my issues get ordered into swimlanes based on JQL queries. These can then be further organised based on ranking - where the issues can be dragged and dropped into the desired position. 

Instead of dragging and dropping, it would be preferable if these issues could automatically be ordered based on an input value from a custom field (E.g. Importance: 1-100). 

Is this possible?!

If this could be done based on the system field, priority, it would be something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sure, add a "Order By" to the board filter. You can use any field in the issues you want. Of course it should be common to all issues types and make sense to use it.

Be aware you will not be able to change the order by dragging an issue once this is done.
