How do I make it so my task automatically order themselves by due date?

Kelly Wheatley_yifsxu

I cannot figure out how to organize my task so that when I add a due date it will chronologically order them for me.

Can someone give me step by step instructions on what to do? And where to go, please.

This is the homepage of my Jira Board:

If I go to "configure board" this is what I come to:

Then I click on "custom filters":

This is the filter I have added myself, but it still doesn't work.

Thanks,

Use a filter like this... assignee = currentuser() order by duedate

note that boards are not the best means of viewing issues by dudate IMO

Hi @Kelly Wheatley

Jira boards order tasks by "Rank". The item you need to do first is (manually) moved to the top of the cards in each column. It's done this way because teams working using agile methods (e.g. Scrum) usually plan their work as a team and order the work by their defined criticality during this planning activity.

If you want to order tasks by the Due Date, you can use lists (left in the navigation - right below the boards). You can order lists by columns.

Where do I put that filter in at? I tried adding it like I showed above. It didn't work. Am I supposed to add the filter somewhere else?

Jack Brickey

In fact it will not, sorry. As @Mathias Richter pointed out ordering on boards is only by rank and this cannot be overridden. You could create a swimlane for "due this week" or similar if that would help. Or you could set card colors by queries that involve dates.

Kelly Wheatley_yifsxu

Okay. How do I create the card colors?
