Sort by lower of two date fields

[Anthony]

Hello,

I have two date fields on each ticket in a project. I want to make a filter to order each ticket by the lower of the two (even if one is blank).  How would I do so?

Running something like 

ORDER BY "Date1" DESC, "Date2" DESC

Will get the sort by one field and THEN the other field. Unfortunately this doesn't take both fields into account at the same time, so it will not order them in the way I would like.

Example of what I want:

Date 1 field:
Project-0001: Jan 1
Project-0002: Jan 3
Project-0003: Jan 4

Date 2 field:
Project-0001: Jan 3
Project-0002: Jan 2
Project-0003: null

Sorted list:
Project-0001: Jan 1
Project-0003: Jan 2
Project-0002: Jan 4

Is something like this possible?

Hi Andrew,

I don't think this is possible out of the box, but you could achieve it using a Script Listener from ScriptRunner for JIRA Cloud.

Thanks, Jon
