Change Jira Link/Issue KEY from Right Side to Left side on the Backlog View

[lisa roers]

Okay - so I'm kinda new here. I did a bunch of searching on this issue, and found some information but it's 6 years old.  According to this link, there was pretty strong interest in moving the issue KEY from the far right (next to the points for the story) to the far left (the first thing you read on the story line).  Was this ever fixed addressed? Anyone know or have a more recent update to this?  Last thing I see was from 2017.... It's Jan 2023 now. :-/  Thx.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There is no way to re-arrange this view, the issue you've found is the request for it, and still holds.

This issue/request is over 5 years old.... is Atlassian listening to their customers? Do they plan to ever update this relatively easy, yet every day-impacting issue??  You allow customizations on many other pages... not sure why this one is uniquely difficult to say yes to... then just dive in and get 'er done? Please!?

Atlassian's design teams do listen, but you have to remember that the developers have other priorities.

Check out, for example, https://jira.atlassian.com/issues/?filter=98153&jql=project%20in%20(%22Atlassian%20Cloud%22%2C%20%22JIRA%20Software%20Cloud%22%2C%20%22Jira%20Work%20Management%20Cloud%22%2C%20%22Jira%20Cloud%22%2C%20%22Jira%20Service%20Management%20Cloud%22%2C%20%22Migration%20Platform%22%2C%20Identity)%20AND%20resolution%20is%20EMPTY%20ORDER%20BY%20votes%20DESC&startIndex=450 

It is ordered by votes (which are not the only driver of rank in the backlog) and you have to flip to page 10 to find this request.
