I just started experimenting with using a board (Kanban). I created a board using a saved filter: all the tasks assigned to one of my developers. All the tasks initially had a status of Open or Reopened, which appears to put them in the Backlog by default. I dragged a few into In Progress (in the Kanban Backlog screen). I have enabled Rank.
In the board, I see the 3-4 In Progress tasks at the top, and below that all the Backlog tasks.
I went back to the Jira Dashboard and viewed the saved filter. I added a column for Rank and sorted by that. Now, all the Backlog tasks appear at the top and all the In Progress tasks are at the bottom - exactly the opposite of what I want.
I can see that this all matches the rank. Backlog runs from 0|100uzl to 0|101bz4, and In Progress starts 0|101doi. This assumes lower alpha strings = lower number.
If I reverse the Rank sort order, the in progress tasks are at the top but now they are in reverse order of how they are sorted in the board.
How can I get the ordering of my Dashboard filter to match the board (which is based on that filter)?
