Need to sort projects/project name/project settings/releases by manually adjusting list

[Shari Callahan]

something recently in cloud changed the ability to manually alter the order of releases contained within a project.  Previously I could drag/drop a release into the order desired.  That is no longer an option.

Sorting by date doesn't work as we have multiple versions being worked on at any one time. 

Sorting by name also doesn't work - once your releases go double digit the sort order is 3, 21, 2, 19, 18..10, 1.  This negatively impacts filter results when looking for ranges within fix versions.

is there an add-on that I'm not aware of that would enable that capability?  

thank you in advance for the feedback/guidance.

Hi @Shari Callahan 

A workaround is to always use double digest or triple digits depending the numbering.

So:

01

02

03

11

12

Hi Marc, 

It would be a huge LOE to update all our projects as such, so before I start such an endeavor here are some examples of the versioning (I've no say on the versioning used, I'm dealing with the hands dealt) for several projects. 

Sorted by Version column Example 1:

master

gdf-4.10.5.2.1-RC1

gdf-4.10.5.2.1

develop

N/A

GDF-5.1

GDF-5.0

GDF-4.11.2.2-RC1

GDF 4.11.1.3

Previous sort order was:

N/A

master

develop

GDF-5.1

GDF-5.0

GDF-4.11.2.2-RC1

GDF-4.11.1.3

gdf-4.10.5.2.1-RC1

gdf-4.10.5.2.1

I'm trying to filter issues fixed from gdf-4.10.5.2.1 to 4.11.1.3, the results include everything in between. 

New Sort Order Example 2:

NG-3.4.0-RC+47

NG-3.4.0-RC+61

AppSvr-1.2.1-RC+10

NG-3.4.0-RC+62

NG-3.4.2

NG-3.4.0-RC+60

NG-3.5.0-DEV+198

NG-3.4.0-RC+57

Previous sort order:

AppSvr-1.2.1-RC+10

NG-3.5.0-DEV+198

NG-3.4.2

NG-3.4.0-RC+62

NG-3.4.0-RC+61

NG-3.4.0-RC+60

NG-3.4.0-RC+57

NG-3.4.0-RC+47

I'm filtering to get a list of just NG-3.4.0 issues - The results now include AppSvr, NG-3.4.2 and NG-3.5.0
