hi! ive got a gantt chart with tasks grouped by user names:

1/ JQL request:

project = "test" and status not in (Closed, Cancelled, Done, Rejected) ORDER BY "Planned Start"

2/ then grouped by assignee

users are sorted alphabetically

 

can i change sorting in random way? ive tried to add a fake field with random number + username and then group tasks by it but it did not work

Welcome, @vanwilder .  Jira does not come with a built-in Gantt chart. It would be helpful to know which Atlassian Marketplace app you are using.

Hi @vanwilder
As I know, Gantt chart doesn't support random sorting of groups.

But you can try the following alternative, if it is fitted to you.

Instead of random ordering, try creating a custom field, where you assign numeric prefixes manually.

Example Values.

03 - Alice
01 - Atur
07 - Mary

Then try to group by this custom field.
