Easiest way to control order of options under Status filter when querying in Jira

[Kathy Dickason]

When I am querying for issues, (Search screen) I see options under the Status filter.  The order of these depends on the order listed under Issues --> Statuses under Administration.  Is there another way to control this order, since re-ordering what could be hundreds of Statuses on the Admin screen is not easy to do?  I was hoping I could use opsbar property in the workflow, but that does not change the order of the listing under the Statuses filter on the issue Search screen.

Hi Kathy:

Unfortunately, it is not possible to control the ordering of statuses in the search UI out of the box.  Within each project, you can control the display ordering within a Workflow, but not in the search UI.

You can look into Atlassian Marketplace for possible third party add-ons that can provide you with the functionality (I am not aware of any at this time).  You can also contact Atlassian Support (https://support.atlassian.com) for possible assistance on this matter.

Sorry.
