JQL Order by Parent

Stephen McFarla1

ENVIRONMENT:  JIRA ONLINE ( JIRA v7.1.0-OD-05-006 )

GOAL:  Have a list view of issues in hierarchical order (Project -> Epic -> Story -> SubTask)

SUMMARY:

This JQL works... status in (Open, "In Progress", Reopened) ORDER BY project, "Epic Name", "Epic Link", key ASC

This JQL does not ... status in (Open, "In Progress", Reopened) ORDER BY project, parent, "Epic Name", "Epic Link", key ASC

I have tried add-ons (such as Links Hierarchy) but it doesn't really solve this problem.

It appears this is a long term issue/requested feature that keeps getting denied.  I am hoping there is a solution for JIRA ONLINE users and maybe I have just over looked it...

• I use sub-tasks, so this should be enabled
