confused documentation issue ranking

[karim -Atlassway-]

Hello team

I need to rank my issues in backlog with priority , so i followed this documentation below from atlassian site .

Enabling ranking

1. Go to your board, then select more (•••) > Board settings.
   
   Note that only the administrator of a board (or a person with the 'Jira Administrators' global permission) can configure a board.

2. Click the Add Rank button. This will append the following to your filter's query, with ORDER BY Rank ASC as the default setting:
   
   ORDER BY Rank ASC
   
   You can also rank issues by other issue properties — for example, priority or issuetype.
   
   ORDER BY priority DESC
   
   ORDER BY issuetype DESC

Based on this documentation i changed my board filter (ORDER BY priority DESC) i t works fine , my issues now are organised with priority , but the problem is i can not create a sprint error = the board must be ordered by rank in order to add a sprint . So if i click to add rank in board it will delete (ORDER BY priority DESC) and adding Rank ASC .

Can someone help me please ?

Thank you

Hi Karim - The short answer is your are not going to be able to have it both ways on a single board. 

My suggestion would be to create a second board for your Backlog ranking by priority. And then have your regular board with ORDER BY Rank for adding/managing your sprints.

Hello @John Funk

Thank you

You would not be able to create the sprint in the second board,no. You would have to rearrange the issues manually on the first board based on the order you have them in the priority board. And then create the sprint with the ranking board.
