How do I re-order epics?

Ian Kenneth Court

I have created a series of Epics and JIRA has sorted them in alphabetical order, however I want to move the epics into a different order.

Anybody know how I can do this?

Thanks,

Create a new Kanban board in your project, using an existing filter that only grabs the Epics you are interested in. (I guess you could create a new filter too.) You'll then get a nice kanbanny view of all the filter's contents, and you can drag-drop in there.

It's not clear where you're seeing this. Is this on a Jira Kanban/Scrum board?

Hi @Ian Kenneth Court,

You can adjust the order directly by dragging up and down.

It's in a JIRA board

Cool, thanks Ollie

Works!

@Ollie Guan Hi Ollie, I have one board that this is not working on. When I drag and drop it seems to work, but when I refresh it goes back to original order. Only one board is doing this for me. Would you happen to have an idea as to why? Thanks

I was able to drap and drop on the ROADMAP screen, and the changes seem to be carried over to the BOARD.

Same as my Oct 4th 2021 post:

Go to configure your board.

On the General tab near the bottom select "Use Ranking".

Now your epics should stay when you move them in the quick filter.

On the epic-centric Kanban board, set the Ranking for the Filter to "Using Rank"
