Sort by Issuetype in Filters, need custom Order

[Manoj_Bonagiri]

I was trying to create a filter for all Issues in the project and want to sort by Issue Type. Jira provides the list with group of Issue types. When clicked on IssueType, the order is Bugs > Epics > UserStoty > Task > SubTask.

Is there s way that I can modify this order? My Requirement is Epics > UserStoty > Bugs > Task > SubTask

Hi Manoj - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

No you are not going to be able to do that - you can't control the order inside a single field other than ASC or DESC.

Hello @Manoj_Bonagiri 

Welcome to the community.

the order is managed by the alphabetical name. You can add a customfield in your screen and based on the issuetype this field will have a particular value and then use it to make the order by.

Hope this helps

Hello @Mohamed Benziane

Thank you for the suggestion. I was able to create a Customfield and use orderby. But the custom fields could be assigned to the issues in Kanban template projects only but not on Scrum template projects. Could you help me on that?

Hi

The customfield belong to the screen, then the screen is associated to a project by a screen scheme. You have to look at your screen scheme that is associated to your Scrum project and add it.

Hi @Mohamed Benziane , how do we link the custom field to the issue type?

We can set the custom field's value in a post function when a ticket is created, but can we trigger a post function when the issue type changes?
