Show the Backlog sorted by Priority

[Federico Varchavsky]

Hello,

I need a way to show the Product Backlog sorted by Priority.

I tried using a Quick filter but it does not sort the Backlog at all.

This JQL in a Quick Filter has no effect on the way the Backlog is sorted: <project = Project1 AND status != Done ORDER BY priority DESC>

Is there a way to sort the Product Backlog by the Priority field?

Thanks,

Federico.

Hello @Federico Varchavsky 

You cannot use a Quick Filter to change the sort order of issues on an agile board.

The sort order of the issues is built into the Filter Query used by the board. The only way to change the sort order is to change the filter query for the board.

Note that if you set the sort order in the Filter Query to anything other than Rank you will no longer be able to drag and drop issues to reorder them.
