Arbitrary (manual) sort order for an Tasks in an Epic

Matthew Dugal

Is there any way to manually sort task items inside of an epic? Preferably in a way that doesn't affect other users. Maybe some sort of custom view or something?

I just need a way to group tickets that isn't any of the fields available in the ticket (such as priority). For instance I don't want my database tickets mixed up with the UI tickets. I can't change the descriptions. I may be able to get a custom field added. Working tickets based on priority is not an option either.

Jira this way is basically unusable for me. I have to track my work items using a Google Sheet.

I need a way to organize tickets manually. Please send help!

Michael Yaroshefsky - Visor for Jira

Hey @Matthew Dugal it seems like you would benefit from using my app (Visor).

It has a two-way integration with Jira and gives you the ability to create a range of views using your real-time Jira data, you can group and sort issues by a range of criteria, and you can create custom Visor fields (that only exist in Visor) to help you organize and sort your Jira data.

It's a much, much better solution than Google Sheets. We offer a 14 day free trial (and a free version thereafter if you decide not to upgrade) so give it a try and see what you think.

hope that helps!
