Can you order a filter for jira tasks by 2 methods

Mike Allen October 13, 2022

Is there a way to Order a filter in Jira using 2 ways? For example, I would like to use the following search filter and would list the tasks first by priority and then by status. So I would order all the high-priority tasks first and then by status, then all medium tasks ordered by status, then all low-priority by status.

project = "Project 1" and component = "Accounts Receivable" Order by priority and Order by status

 

Thanks

If you are using this on a board, then perhaps you can add the second order as quick filters? I am not sure even dashboards can have this double sorting feature.

You cannot use a Quick Filter to set the order of issues displayed in a board. The ordering of the issues is specified in the Filter Query for the board.

Yes, you can order by multiple factors in a filter. The proper syntax is:

order by priority ASC, status DESC

You may choose to change the ordering (ASC/DESC) for each field you are using in the sort.

@Trudy ClaspillI stand corrected :)

I did not mean to use the quick filters as a way to order, but to filter, so you have the second dimension showing one group at the time. You would still just have one sort, but you can show Highest priority only with the sort of status.

Your solution is of course the correct one :)
