Can I delay sorting in a view?

Hey! We recently started using JPD and are still in the very early stages of exploring the best way to use it. We are currently using it with our design and product team to prioritize ideas on the fly. So we have fields for various scores, like impact, confidence, effort etc., based on which the overall priority score is calculated using a formula field. 
I take the first stab at adding some of these scores and then discuss my reasoning for them on a call with senior product members and change the scores as and if needed 
I want to create a view where I sort the ideas based on their priority score, but I don't want the idea to be immediately re-ordered as soon as I change either of the scores for impact, confidence, effort etc. During the duration of the call, I want the sort to not re-order the ideas since it makes it very tough to see/ breaks the flow of the meeting. 
But if I don't enable a sort altogether, then the idea list is random and I cannot prioritize to start with the ideas of higher importance. 
Can someone suggest a way to handle this and if there's something I am using incorrectly?

Hi @Komal Jain -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If I consider a simple value stream flow (without alternative paths) that might be:

New > Ideate/Intake > Ready-to-Select > Selected > Build > Release > Done

Thus I want to perform any evaluation and prioritization during Ideate/Intake before impacting delivery teams by moving to the waiting state of Ready-to-Select too early.  This could be done by using the status to manage the flow progress, and providing views relevant to people doing the specific step's work.  (e.g., product managers show the Selected and later statuses but not ideas which are not ready / selected for Build)

Kind regards,
Bill
