Filter newest first on done column

Question

Hello,

Is there a way to filter newest first on the 'done' column in a sprint board? We would like to see the newest tasks marked as complete at the top of the board so it is easy to see what ticket has been delivered most recently.

Is anyone aware of a filter to do this? we have explored but it seems like there is not a way to have newest first on just the done column within the board

Thanks

Hi Kelsey  - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I would suggest you apply a Quick Filter to the board instead of changing the ORDER BY in the filter. Use something like:

status = "Done" AND status CHANGED AFTER startOfDay(-1)

This will show you all of the issues that moved to Done yesterday and today

Hi @Kelsey Sims and welcome to the Community!

No, you're right. That is not possible. The applied sorting applies to all issues on your board and should - in most cases - be based on issue Rank to allow users to manually reorder items on the board.

However, when you search for issues in the issue navigator you can use "Status = Done ORDER by Resolved" to find a list of Done issues. Adding ASC or DESC changes the order as required.

If you save that filter, you can even add it to a Filter Results gadget on a dashboard to keep a clear view on the most recently completed work.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Kelsey Sims ,

You can try by updating filter query of your board.  You can add order by updated in your query and check.

ORDER BY updated DESC
