I was reading about the Bulk Edition feature of JIRA
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Modifying+Multiple+%28Bulk%29+Issues#ModifyingMultiple%28Bulk%29Issues-bulkedit
Is there any way to do a Bulk Edit on the Ranking of Issues to make for example all the High Priorioty issues be ranked on top ?
If not by Bulk Edit is it posible to achieve that by use of scripting or filters ?
No.
The problem here is that a rank is a reference to a unique place in a list - each rank effectively describes a position between two other items - "I'm above that one and below the other". Bulk edit changes a field (or set of fields) to a set value. Because the ranks are effectively unique, you can never logically bulk-edit more than one.
I've seen a couple of scripts that did re-ranking, but they were crude and clumsy to be honest, and very focussed on one fixed end goal.
Do you by any chance have links for any of those scripts and how to run them ?

Very true - the problem with any automated/bulk re-ranking is that it could easily mess up everything your users have already set up.
Jamie this is for a proyect that has issues but no one has rank them. What I want is to see them order by priority but on the board not a ListView or SearchResult
nobody has done any ranking
We really need some way to do this. We have multiple sub-teams working on our project and each sub-team has its own Agile board and has control over the ranking of issues on their board. Whenever we reassign an issue to a different sub-team (based on a custom field called "sub-team"), the issue will move to the other sub-team's board. The problem is that is retains its rank, and there's no way to reset the rank so that the new sub-team has a chance to rank it on their own board. We'd like to be able to do a bulk edit "send to bottom of backlog", but also do this on an individual issue on the "edit" screen.
Totally agree, I am also looking for this feature. We have a lot of "legacy" tickets and slowly cleaning up over time. Now we are close to remove all the filters which means that I want to bulk update the ranking. Move a lot of tickets to the top or the bottom of the list.
