I built a simple query and asked it to Sort by Status.
But the items all list in some random order.
See my attached screen shot. Why aren't the Design/Discovery status items sorted together?
Hi @Lisa Scannell
sorting by status is unfortunately not always intuitive in Jira; the order of statuses is defined somewhere in Jira, but frankly I don't even know where.
Since you appear to be on Jira Cloud, you should be able to sort by status category though, which should give you a more intuitive result.
Mind trying the following query?
project = SOM AND resolution = Unresolved AND Assignee is not EMPTY ORDER BY statusCategory ASC
Let me know if this helps,
Best,
Hannes
Hey Lisa,

Are your statuses configured in this order? Does it make sense to adjust this order?
Greetings Ralf 👋
Hello @Lisa Scannell
Are the issue in the results set from Company Managed projects or Team Managed projects?
For results in a Company Managed project, I believe the sort order is based on the ordering of issue statuses at a global level on this administration page:
https://yourSite.atlassian.net/secure/admin/ViewStatuses.jspa
If the issues are from a Team Managed project then the ordering of Statuses is based on the order in which the Status was added to the Workflows. I don't know exactly what happens if you have multiple workflows in the TM project with different statuses in the workflows.
I do notice that you appear to have two identical Status values that are not grouped together as they should be. I have not seen that happen before. Could you possibly have more than one field named Status? Jira does not prevent the creation of multiple fields with the same name.. I see that happen only when the data is from a Team Managed project. And I just found this bug about it.
