      I find the sub-tasks very useful in terms of organizing work and monitoring progress. However, it is difficult to organize the sub-tasks. There are two views: All and Open. To change the order of the sub-tasks in the list, I would have to move each one up or down, one position at a time. It becomes quite a chore when there are 20 or more sub-tasks.

      It would be very useful to have some ways to sort them:

      • by sub-task names
      • by assignee
      • by status
      • by priority

            [JRASERVER-12578] Add sorting for sub-tasks

            Very much needed, my team gets sub-tasks from other teams, and we can't control them. We are unable to quickly sort their priority work to the top of the column. Very time consuming to remind people to give us type = Task, or explain to them why it must be so.

            Definitely needed! - And that same sort order needs to reflect in the bulk operations list as well. If I drag to my own sort order, then do a bulk operations, they are out of whack again and in the order of creation.

            This feature is highly needed.

            We really need this feature.

            So now everyone is forced into the new where it's not possible to sort sub-tasks or show extra fields. Does anyone know a workaround for this? We might migrate to another platform because of this issue.

            Here, here! A solution to this is needed.

            No idea why this feature request has no attention and that work-arounds are needed. Drag and drop is fine if you only have a few sub-tasks. It would be nice if someone would pick this back up. At minimal to be able to sort on the status.
