I can change the order that my Status appears in the dropdown using the opsbar-sequence property on the status transition.
The status Dropdown reflect the order I defined with opsbar-sequence

BUT in List view, when I Group by Status, the opsbar-sequence is not applied, and the order of the Status Groups are as a result not user friendly

Does anyone know how to apply the opsbar-sequence order to the Group by?

Unfortunately, opsbar-sequence only controls the order of statuses in the dropdown but does not impact how statuses are grouped in list views. In Jira's List View, grouping follows the natural sorting order of status names rather than any custom sequence.

A workaround would be to use custom fields or automation rules to introduce a numeric prefix to statuses (01 - In Progress, 02 - Review), which forces Jira to respect a predefined order. Alternatively, consider using JQL with a specific sorting rule if you're working within a dashboard or filter.
