JQL: is it possible to sort status by Status category

Hello,

In certain JQL searches, we would like an order by status category, or even, if possible, by order of workflow status.

Do you know if this is possible?

Thanks a lot.

Tania

Hi @Tatiana Marti 

It's not possible to order by status category unfortunately.

You can order by Status order though - the order is based on the order of Statuses within your system (i.e Jira Administration > Issues > Statuses)

ASC is classed as top > bottom of list.

hello,

It was very painful to classify the 68 statuses manually and one by one but it works

Thanks a lot

Hi @Tatiana Marti

Status category values can be used in JQL queries and formulas.You can create a custom JQL search using Status or Status Category for use in Reports and filters.

You can use below query for status category 

project= "XYZ" AND statusCategory = Done

The order by will first order by statuscategory, then if two issues have the same statuscategory, Jira will order by status.

Thanks

@Tatiana Marti (cc @Stephen Wright _Elabor8_),

perhaps I'm missing something, but wouldn't

ORDER BY statusCategory

do exactly that? 

EDIT: This appears to be supported in Jira Cloud only.

Hi @Hannes Obweger - JXL for Jira 

I am using Jira Cloud, and that worked for me also.  But Tatiana appears to be using Jira Server: did you try it with that version?  Thanks!

Kind regards,
Bill

To be clear, I tried it on Server - it doesn't work.
