How to change the order of issues on scrum board in a status column?

Umar Maroof

Hello

I have a scrum board where the columns of the boards are set depend upon the status. Now the issues are appearing randomly, I want to change the order of my issues in a board. I want the issues that is transits most recently to that status will appear on the top of the column of the status or bottom of the column of the status.

Hi Umar,

You will not be able to do that. The rank of the issues is based on a complicated formula, which I think is somehow related to when the issue came onto the board in relation to the other issues already on the board. So, you will not be able to order issues in a single column differently than other columns, other than to do it manually.

You can add an ORDER BY statement to the end of the board filter for something other than Rank, but it will apply to the entire board, for all columns.

Hi @Umar Maroof

Yes, and...to John's answer:

The default order in the filter for project boards is ORDER BY Rank ASC

It is possible to change the ORDER BY for the board filter to show things in the order you ask. However that will break something else: you will no longer be able to drag and drop items. This is why many teams do not do this. Instead people often use the quick filter feature to help focus on the most recently changed/moved items or the ones which have not changed/moved in a while (e.g., "stuck" items).

Kind regards,
Bill

@John Funk @Bill Sheboy Thankyou so much for your responses now I understand but I want to know from where I can change this Order by rank this because I board setting general I see this Order by rank ASC but its not editable there so from where I can change and also for my what will be the filter should I write?

You need to change the actual filter directly that the board uses.
