Display the relation of tasks and subtasks in filter results

Question

I have created a filter that shows me all running tasks and subtasks in a project. For the filter results, I would like to be able to see the task key, epic link and the summary.
For subtaks, only the ID and subtask name are displayed in the summary, e.g. BB-133 / Debugging. The correct relation of a subtask to its parent task is therefore almost impossible to see at a glance.

Is there a way to better represent the relation of subtasks to tasks? Best case would be, that the filter result shows the parent task and in each line underneath its subtasks...

Too bad there's no native feature. Anyways here's the JQL for the filter I am using:

project = TES AND issuetype in (Task, Sub-task) AND status in (Backlog, "In Progress", "Selected for Development")

And that's the output (german language):

As long as the Parent and Subtasks are created in order, the relation can be figured out. In case of the Subtask with the ID TES-38 I can just see it's parents Tasks name (which is Parnent 2) by hovering over the ID displayed in the Summer (TES-29)

There is not a native feature in Jira that will sort the Search results to show you "parent" issues, then all their "child" issues next, and under each "child" issue its sub-tasks.

Can you provide us with the JQL for your filter, and a sample of the output, and provide more information concerning how the output does not meet your needs?
