How do I disable Ranking = "Using Ranking", so I can use custom sort?

[Brian G]

Hi. 

I am trying to create a custom sort for backlog view (JQL query)

project = XXX AND issuetype = Task AND status != Removed AND status != Done ORDER BY status ASC, priority DESC

However, it when selecting Backlog > Board settings > General > Saved Filter and updating to above query, it is never saved because what I assume is because "Filter Query = project = XXX ORDER BY Rank ASC" and "Ranking = Using Ranking". Filter Query and Ranking in not editable!!!

How can I sort NOT BY RANKING?

You need to change the filter,
* you can click on the "Edit filter query" link above which will bring you to the filter

* and you can edit and save.

If you cant save the filter ,you don't have permissions to edit, in which case , you click on details to see who is the owner
