Planning Poker Agility app and ordering stories by priority

Aurelie Seth May 9, 2025

Hi,

During our planning sessions, we use the Planning Poker Agility app to agree on story points. We utilize the following custom JQL to select specific issues:

labels=NextSprint AND 'Story Points' IS EMPTY

However, we are struggling to order these issues from highest to lowest priority despite trying various JQL variations. Could anyone provide advice on how to achieve this?

Thanks

HI @Aurelie Seth 

Have you tried using

labels=NextSprint AND 'Story Points' IS EMPTY ORDER BY Priority DESC

(highest priority at top)

or

labels=NextSprint AND 'Story Points' IS EMPTY ORDER BY Rank ASC

(ordered by backlog position)

Hi @Stephen_Lugton ,

Thanks for your support. I have just tried and it doesn't seem to understand ORDER BY Priority DESC or ORDER BY Rank ASC as empty results are returned.

Hi @Aurelie Seth how do you order your Jira backlog?  (Your board filter defines the query in use)

By default the "Board filter" is defined as:

project = YOUR-PROJECT-KEY ORDER BY Rank ASC

 

By adding a "Quick filter" to your board 

labels=NextSprint AND 'Story Points' IS EMPTY

 

..you can now (with the right tool) run the story estimation from the backlog - issue panel - with one click. 

Just to be clear, I build the app and work for the company - Smart Guess ehf. Thanks @Bill Sheboy for the tip!

Hi @Björn Brynjar Jónsson 

What is your association to the other vendor product for which you provide a link?
