Is it possible to sort the backlog automatically?

[Jay]

Rather than moving items manually, is it possible to sort the backlog automatically by certain criteria (e.g., priority)?

[Renjith Pillai · Accepted solution]

Yes, simple change your filter to sort the results as per your wish. Rapid board will pick it up automatically.

Hi Jay

The backlog is sorted by the rank field and there's no other option to change this. Also, I believe that this case is related to the following BUG, which can be useful to understand this case:
