How to 'order by' the tickets in Kanban board?

[Hadar Dinte]

Hi, 

I would like to know if there is a way to order the ticket in the columns by the time that they move to the column.

For example, the last ticket that move to the column will appear on the top of the column. 

For example, In the attached photo I would like ticket number 7.53.1 will be at the top because it was the last ticket that moved to this column.

Thanks

Hello @Hadar Dinte 

What you are effectively asking is for the issues to be ordered based on when the status was changed. That is equivalent to "when the issue moved into the column".

Agile boards are intended to display issues in priority (Rank, in Jira terminology) order. The top priority is at the top of the list. 

For Team Managed projects the ordering of issues by Rank cannot be changed.

Technically you could create a saved filter that orders issues based on whatever criteria you can code into the JQL in the ORDER BY clause. You could then use that saved filter as the basis for an agile board. However, if your board is using a filter that uses an ORDER BY clause that does not use Rank, then you lose the ability to reorder your issues in board columns and in the backlog by dragging and dropping the issue cards into a different order.

The real question that needs to be asked is what problem are you trying to solve by changing the order of the issues within the board columns? Why do you think displaying them in the order of newest added to oldest added would solve that problem?

Hi @Hadar Dinte 

Welcome to the community!

You need to set your board filter query. You can change your query to Order by rank ASC/DSC.

Hope it will help you!
