How can I rank the backlog automaticly

Martin Bannatz

I don't like to rank the backlog manualy. I wished do it with filters by configure board. I added in example: resolution = Unresolved ORDER BY "Story Points" DESC

In result I get only unresolved issues but the order by did nothing. Is there a different solution?

Hi @Martin Bannatz , welcome to the community.

It seems you are confusing ranking with sort order. Understandable since, with ranking on it sort of overrides order by or makes it secondary.

if you don't wish to use ranking you should go onto your board settings and disable it. Then your filters can sort them the way you want. Please note that ranking has more of an impact on issues throughout the lifecycle of an issue. Specifically when you move issues into a sprint or onto a kanban board then the ranking continues to play role. With order by this is not the case, i.e. your backlog filter order by will not carry over to the board.
