How to custom sort components based on a self-defined sequence?

[Vineet_Kotian]

I tried the below jql query but it didn't execute. 

JQL: project = "AAA" ORDER BY component ("AA", "BB", "CC")

Error in the JQL Query: Expecting either 'ASC' or 'DESC' but got '('. (line 1, character 35)

Hi @Vineet_Kotian 

You cannot custom sort, only ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC):

• ORDER BY component ASC
• ORDER BY component DESC

Thanks @Dave Mathijs for a quick response.

Any specific reason to not have a custom sort feature?
