In our Jira Agile board, tasks are grouped by Assignee. How can we change the order of the Assignee?

Arunsankar Kumarakurubaran June 7, 2019

We have an agile board setup in Jira. We group the tasks by Assignee since it helps us in run the stand up meeting efficiently. However, what we could not do is reorder the way Assignee are listed. Is reordering Assignee in the board possible?

Why not use quick filters to focus on each Assignee individually?

We are doing that at the moment. I want to find out if there is a way to avoid filtering during the stand up meeting.

No, it's not possible, it is sorted in alphabetic order. Not possible to change.

What you can do is to create your on swimlanes, and base them on assignee 
e.g project = xxx and assignee = xxx  can be used if the assignees are known.

It's not sorted in alphabetic order. It is done in the order of their addition to the board. 

It's a single team with around 8-10 people. So, creating swim lanes is not possible. 

Thanks for taking your time to answer.
