Order Kanban Board by Value Score

[Yael Geffen]

I started working recently with a value score and created a filter so the Kanban board will be sorted by it.

The only problem is that when I ask it to order it according to a descending order, it shows me the empty tickets first, and currently there are still many tickets that don't have a value score.

Does anyone know a fix?

Hi @Yael Geffen 

What type is your custom field for 'value score'?

Where do you display the value score on your kanban board? As swimlane? As quick filter?

What is the JQL you are using to order cards by value score?

So I suppose 'value score' is a number field.

If you are using that JQL as Filter Query for your board, the cards should be ordered by 'value score' descending, even the sub-tasks within its parent. I was able to reproduce this and it works for me.

In your screenshot PB-252 has a value score of 10 and PB-250 has a value score of 9 and they are ordered correctly.

However, if a sub-task has a higher value score than its parent, it won't be displayed above the parent.

So the order is by issue hierarchy (tasks are ranked against each other and sub-tasks are ranked against each other within their parent).

Hi @Dave Mathijs That's OK, but my problem is that when I have issues with no value score (and at the moment, there are many of them), they are displayed before the numbered one.

Hi Dave,

*What do you mean by type?

*I think the display is as a quick filter (not sure what swimlanes are yet), see the picture attached.
