Problem Statement:

Jira currently lacks the ability to manually adjust the display order of filters in the system. When new filters are added or existing filters are duplicated, this can inadvertently disrupt colleagues' boards that rely on these filters, causing board malfunctions. The issue arises because:

1. Non-deterministic Filter Order
   Filters are displayed in creation-time order only, making it difficult for teams to organize them logically (e.g., by priority or project relevance).
2. Filter Duplication Risks
   Duplicated filters often inherit the original name, leading to accidental misassociations in boards. This breaks existing board configurations without clear warnings.
3. Board Dependency Vulnerability
   Shared filters used in boards are not version-controlled, so changes/copying of filters propagate errors across teams' workflows.

Impact:

• Team productivity loss due to broken boards requiring manual reconfiguration
• Increased admin overhead for resolving filter conflicts
• Risk of data misinterpretation when boards display incorrect filter results

Suggested Improvements:

1. Add drag-and-drop filter ordering capability
2. Implement filter versioning system to track dependencies
3. Introduce a "Copy Filter" wizard that automatically updates board associations
4. Display dependency warnings before filter duplication/changes
