Ordering the task by priority on Board as default

[Abhishek_Kumar]

i want to set the default ordering of task and backlogs priority wise(highest priority on top)

and want to set this priority sorting as default on Board.

Hi @Abhishek_Kumar,

You need to edit the board filter and set the JQL like this:

Project = ABC ORDER BY priority DESC

[Abhishek_Kumar]

We have already set Quick Filter as   

Quick filter set to:

ORDER BY priority ASC 

and    

Filter query:

project=ABC ORDER BY Rank ASC

but still the all item in all column of Board is not getting filtered by Priority.

So i am not clear whether all items for all column of a Board can be filtered by Priority or not.

Hi @Abhishek_Kumar

Try to update board filter ORDER Clause to ORDER BY priority , Rank ASC

This may work.

But we have a catch,

Removing/modifying the "Rank"Order by clause won't allow us to drag and drop the issues inside board.

Hi @Abhishek_Kumar

You can amend the the ordering in the Board/configuration/general config tab. There you will be able to change the query used to include a sort or change the ordering feature from rank (I.e. the order you place items in) to some other field.

Rank is usual because the allows a product owner to fine tune their preferred order on an issue by issue basis. Priority ordering will be determined by number of priorities and the databases behaviour in ordering within priority.
