Hi all, When I sort by Status, the order is * Parking Lot * Delivery * Discovery * Ready for Delivery * Done I think that Delivery should appear after Ready for Delivery. Is there a way to fix that?

@Dav @Tanguy Crusson we can use GET https://wcloud.atlassian.net/secure/admin/StatusUp.jspa?up={StatusID}&atl_token={Auth Token}, same for "Down". Request to automate sorting. For example, using Postman Run Collection N times. So, it can move status by dozens of positions in seconds.

Ha! @Sergey Shoshin - I didn't say it was a good solution, just that native sort ordering on Status is available in Jira (in response to @Tanguy Crusson comment), it is indeed painful using the up / down arrows on single items at a time... But its not something you do every day.

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Hi all,

When I sort by Status, the order is

Parking Lot
Delivery
Discovery
Ready for Delivery
Done

I think that Delivery should appear after Ready for Delivery. Is there a way to fix that?

Similar request to this, to order by Now/Next/Later I've had to put a number in front of the title to order it properly

Hi @maxencetaieb There's no real concept of ordering for the Jira status unfortunately - it's a workflow and things don't have to be linear. If you want to do something like this I'd recommend creating a different field (a field of type "Select") to represent status if that's an option for you. However if you'd still prefer to use the Jira status field, know that you can still create a board where the columns are from that field - and you can reorder these columns to match how you want to see them.

@Chris Timms are you using a Select field for Now/Next/Later? If so that should work out of the box: https://www.loom.com/share/3c3dbd135e194b5999e0d1194593142e - if that's not the case please let me know.

Cheers,

Hey @Tanguy Crusson , I managed to test this today and can confirm, I am a liar the sort order works as you described.

Hahaha well maybe you came across a temporary bug, it's been known to happen 😅

Hi @Tanguy Crusson , I always thought you could define the status ordering in the Jira Cloud - Settings - Issues (Issues Attributes) - Statuses screen, using the up/down arrows to define the sorting order within the Status Category...well, it works when filtering & sorting there...

While I agree the workflow is not necessarily linear, I feel this is a good way to provide some control to ordering generally (i.e To Do -> In Progress -> Done makes sense right?) and inside those categories you should be able to generally say a queued idea is ready for design v's being actively designed...

I feel a similar approach in Product Discovery would add value...

Same question here. I think this is an important feature request to Atlassian.

They can implement Status weights as other fields have.
or they can implement this custom sorting using the Status Extra properties concept https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/use-workflow-properties/

Sounds like a super easy fix. But it might be possible that Atlassian waits for marketplace companies to close this gap and we will spend more and more money on random plugins.

Upping this item. Currently it renders the Sorting feature useless for the Status column (which is a pretty important column). We'd like to be able to see Alpha Testing after In Progress for instance (both are In Progress - blue statuses). But currently it seems it sorts alphabetically WITHIN the gray (To Do), blue (In Progress) and green (Done) statuses.
