How does ORDER BY assignee works?

Gabriel

Hello team,

One of my users built a JQL where the order is by assignee ASC.

Ex.: project = ABC ORDER BY assignee ASC

The results are showing names in this order:

  • Adam B.
  • Ada T.

Why is Adam showing up before Ada?

My explanation is that Jira uses each letter sequentially regardless if it’s part of the first name or last name.

In this case, M comes before T.

Can anyone confirm my theory?

Thank!

Hello,

It is possible. You would need an add-on for it like Power Scripts, ScriptRunner, Groovioli, Mygroovy etc.
