Logic behind the "Rank" field in jira

[Lakshmi CH]

Hi Team,

 Anyone knows logic behind the "Rank" field in jira ?

Hi @Lakshmi CH

Ranking is the practice of ordering issues on your backlog, in your sprint or on your board.

Jira provides a way to order and prioritize issues. On a board, simply drag an issue above or below another issue to determine ranking. Ranking is a global concept. Issues are ranked against other issues regardless of their Jira project, issue type, or associated board.

Please refer to this: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/rank-an-issue/

Thanks,
