Sort by "labels"

[Rob Lynam-Wilkes]

## Problem

- Our business uses various fields for various reasons.

- Within the Product Team, we use the Moscow method in an attempt to prioritise our work

- However, due to how Jira is set up and implemented in the business, we have to use labels?

- Can I set a Jquery to sort by these labels in the order that I've defined?

Hi @Rob Lynam-Wilkes 

I would suggest to create a Custom Field (Singe or Multi select) in Jira with the MoSCoW values.

Put this field on the screens used in the Product Team.

If the same screens are used within the whole company, set the Custom Field Context to only the product team project or projects.

You can JQL that field even based on the values in the field

I currently use the labels field. Where can I find Custom Field Context? This sounds like exactly what I am looking for.

Hi @Rob Lynam-Wilkes 

If you are not a Jira Admin, you are not able to do this. You would need to ask a Jira admin to create you this custom field and the context.

See als this link for documentation.

Hi @Rob Lynam-Wilkes ,

You could use priorities to achieve this:

When you go to settings / issues / priorities

You could change or add to the default "high, medium, low" the Moscow priorities you use : should-have, must-have, could-have, won't have ...

Unfortunately, it looks like we don't have Priorities available to use. 

Either I do not have access to this or our Jira Admins have not given us access.
