Order by 'real order' in API request

[Deleted user]

Hi community! I'm looking for a way to output epics in the order of how it is shown in the Jira Software interface. My client made their prioritisation in Jira. Now I'm in the dark how to output this order in the API output.

I'm currently using this JQL query:

project="BLA" AND issuetype="Epic" ORDER BY key

This outputs BLA1, BLA2, BLA3. Without the 'order by'-statement it output BLA3, BLA2, BLA1. I need the order as how the client has prioritised the epics in the Jira software. (for example BLA2, BLA1, BLA3)

Does somebody know if this is supported or does have a suggestion in which field to order by to have this order? Thanks in advance! :-)

Try ORDER BY RANK
