How to sort Jira "Favorite filters" in ascending order?

Question

When saving Favorite filters from Jira all issues, I thought they would be group in alphabetical order or that I could drag and drop in the order I want. But seems like it is not the case. Is there a way to at least have them in ascending order?

Thank you!

That is what I have done and a good workaround but not a practical solution if I have to un-star my filters every time I create a new filter and want to move it a couple of places in the menu... hopefully a drag & drop option will be available for this in the product soon.

Hi @Josée Lavoie ,  I have a suggestion if your using Jira in the cloud.  With the Filters drop down, there is Starred (favorites) group at the top followed by a Recent.  You can manipulate the order of the starred filters by un-starring them and then starring them back.  After the favorite is unstarred, it should be on the Recent list.  When you star it back again, it will go to the top of the Favorites list.  If you lose it while it's unstarred, click on view all filters and list just your filters,  Hope that works for you.
