What is a jql for getting issue order by accending order of value of custom field

[Sachin Dhamale]

List<Issue> getIssuesFromProject(Long projectId) throws SearchException {
		JqlQueryBuilder builder = JqlQueryBuilder.newBuilder();
		builder.where().project(projectId);
		builder.orderBy().addSortForFieldName("STRINGVALUE", SortOrder.ASC, true);
		
		Query query = builder.buildQuery();
		SearchResults results = ComponentManager.getInstance().getSearchProvider().search(query,ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser(), PagerFilter.getUnlimitedFilter());
		return results.getIssues();
	}

In above codei want to get issue for given project ID and order by customfield value in asccending order.

"STRINGVALUE" is the column name of customfieldvalue table of jira where value of customfield store

but its not working can anyone tell me what is wrong in it or is any other way to get issue orderby of value of customfield

just try with

builder.orderBy().add("your customfield name",SortOrder.ASC);

Hi Bharadwaj

i try this but its not working

	List<Issue> getIssuesFromProject(Long projectId) throws SearchException {
		final CustomField customField1 = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("WBS");
		JqlQueryBuilder builder = JqlQueryBuilder.newBuilder();
		builder.where().project(projectId);
		//builder.orderBy().issueKey(SortOrder.ASC);
		builder.orderBy().add("WBS" , SortOrder.ASC ,true);
		//builder.orderBy().addSortForFieldName("STRINGVALUE", SortOrder.ASC );
		//builder.orderBy()("STRINGVALUE", SortOrder.ASC,true);
		Query query = builder.buildQuery();
		SearchResults results = ComponentManager.getInstance().getSearchProvider().search(query,ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser(), PagerFilter.getUnlimitedFilter());
		return results.getIssues();
	}

in this WBS is my customfield name

WBS field Contain

ok Sachin, is it throwing any error?

[Bharadwaj Jannu]

List<Issue> getIssuesFromProject(Long projectId) throws SearchException {
	    
	    JqlQueryBuilder builder = JqlQueryBuilder.newBuilder();
	    builder.where().project(projectId);
	    
	    builder.orderBy().add("FIN" , SortOrder.ASC ,true);
	    
	    
	    Query query = builder.buildQuery();
	    SearchResults results = searchService.search(ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser(),query, PagerFilter.getUnlimitedFilter());
	    return results.getIssues();
	}

in my constructor I wrote like this to get searchService

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.search.SearchService;

public EditLink(SearchService searchService){
		this.searchService=searchService;
}

this worked for me and FIN is of select list type.

[Bharadwaj Jannu]

also go through the code for searchService in

In JQL you would not order by the name of the custom field, rather by the custom fieldID. This would look something like "ORDER BY cf[10100] ASC" where the value of cf[] determines which custom field is being used.

[Sachin Dhamale]

but Mick how we use this custom field ID in this syntax.

builder.orderBy().addSortForFieldName("STRINGVALUE", SortOrder.ASC, true);

Means where we mention customfield ID in orderBy() method

Can you modify above code with corrected code according to requirement
