How to Enable Manual Reorder of child issues

[Ernesto del Frade]

I have two Jira projects, both Software Project type, one of them allows me to manually reorder child issues under an epic while the other doesn't. I've looked through all the questions and have not been able to find a solution. 

One project is team manages while the other is company manages, but I'm an admin. The Team managed allows me to order child issues but the Company Managed does not.

I suspect the project that allows you to reorder is a Team Managed Project and the other us a Company Managed Project. You can check this theory by looking in the lower left corner.

[Ernesto del Frade]

Yes, that is the case, the Team manages allows reordering while the company managed doesn't. The question here is how to enable/allow it on the Company Manages one.

Thanks for replying but the question is How to Enable Manual Reorder of child issues on a Company Managed Project.

@Ernesto del Frade Did you ever find a way to enable this on the company managed project?

[Jack Brickey]

You cannot reorder issues in CMP. Here is one open suggestion- https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-78353

There is a way. 

From the Project's Timeline view, filter for the Parent (epic) that contains the child work items.

Configure the timeline to Include child-level work items.

Open up the parent.

Drag and drop the children to rank them.

Then go to the parent (epic) task and scroll to the child work items.

Click on "configure columns".

Turn on "Rank".

Sort by Rank.
