On the new issue layout, how do I change the Status dropdown order?  Similar to changing the workflow order on the old layout.

@John Firth I was able to work around this problem by pre-fixing status names with "1-", "2-" etc. The statuses were then in descending order, within each status category (to do, doing, done)

Hello John,

Thank you for getting in touch with Atlassian Community!
Currently, it's not possible to reorder the statuses. We have a feature request suggesting the implementation of this ability:
- https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-72069
Please, click on vote and watch in order to hear about updates on the development cycle.

Regards,
Angélica
