How do you prioritise Epics since the lists merged with all work items?

Richard Blackwell

Since lists have merged with all work items, it is no longer easily possible to prioritise Epics. The only way i can see to do this now is to use the epic panel in the backlog view.

For now, I have prefixed the epics with 0_ 1_ etc!

What happened here, massive oversight in the merge of those two screens! Am i missing something?

Hello @Richard Blackwell

You can filter the List view by work item type (i.e. Epic) and drag and drop the Epics to change their prioritization.

Thank you, not any more, it is not possible to change the ordering or Epics, When filtering by epics, there are no handles to prioritise. You can select the checkbox next to an Epic and "rank to top" or "Rank to bottom"... But there is no way to drag and drop any more.

Richard Blackwell

Update - I had "order by priority" sort turned on. Removing the sort now enables manual drag and drop ordering! A nice little prompt might have helped here!
