How to order a filter by the drag and drop order made in Backlog

[nualmeida]

Hello,

In the backlog, i can drag and drop the user stories, changing their order. I need to know how to use this same order that is defined in Backlog in a filter. 
The goal is that the filter uses the same order defined in the Backlog.

Thank you.

it's important to understand how Jira handles ranking and ordering of issues. When you reorder issues in the backlog through drag-and-drop, Jira updates the issue's rank. The rank is used to maintain the order of issues in the backlog.

Open Advanced Search: Go to Issues > Search for issues in Jira and switch to Advanced Search.

Create a JQL Query: Write a query to select your issues and order them by rank. Use the following format:

sql
Copy code
project = "YourProjectKey" ORDER BY rank ASC
Replace "YourProjectKey" with your actual project key.

Run and Save the Filter: Execute the query to see issues in the same order as your backlog. You can save this filter for future use or share it with your team.
This approach uses the rank field to mirror the backlog's order in your filters.
