Sort an Epic

Robert Cogburn January 18, 2019

I have an epic task with an epic amount of stuff!  How can I sort that list within the epic task?  Ideally issues by open/closed/etc....

@Robert Cogburn Do you mean you have an "Epic" issue containing multiple issues inside it and you want to get the issues under this Epic, sorted by status?

I appreciate your use of words...  

 

Yes.

@Robert Cogburn You cannot sort that list of issues within the Epic Issue, but you can definitely search of all issues linked to your Epic and sort them in JIRA, using a JQL query on "Search for issues" or "Issue Navigator" (as it is called) screen. You can also save this JQL search as a JIRA filter which you can access later to see your filtered issues.

 

You can use a JQL query like this in the search box on "Issue Navigator" screen:

 

project = <project name> and "Epic Link" = <Epic Issue> order by status ASC

Thanks.  Getting this:

 

project = <My Project> and "https://site.net/browse/JIRA-XXX" = <OPEN> order by status ASC

 

 

Error in JQL Query: Expecting either a value, list or function but got '<'. You must surround '<' in quotation marks to use it as a value. (line 1, character 11)

 

 

Thoughts?

@Robert Cogburn please enclose your project name in double quotes (" "). I used angular brackets < > in my example JQL to just show you the placeholders for various items in the JQL.

 

You should use something like this:

project = "your project name" and "Epic Link" = "Epic Issue Key" order by status ASC
