How to custom sort components based on a self-defined sequence?

Question

I tried the below jql query but it didn't execute.

JQL: project = "AAA" ORDER BY component ("AA", "BB", "CC")

Error in the JQL Query: Expecting either 'ASC' or 'DESC' but got '('. (line 1, character 35)

Thanks @Dave Mathijs for a quick response.

Any specific reason to not have a custom sort feature?

Hi @Vineet.Kotian

You cannot custom sort, only ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC):

* ORDER BY component ASC
* ORDER BY component DESC
