I would really like to be able to use any Global Rank field type as the secondary sort on my Kanban boards. I can see this happening in one of two ways:
- Allow JQL statements like "ORDER BY priority DESC, Rank ASC", but require the user to specify the name of the rank field (possibly a prepopulated dropdown of the existing sorting fields in the query/filter). The problem with this approach is handling the UX for drag'n'drop reordering, which would be sensitive to the context of the primary sort.
- Create another Rank field type, or allow the current one, to default to a particular value (like 0 or the maximum integer value) instead of auto-incrementing the value each time an issue is created. This would allow the system to treat sorting statements the same - "ORDER BY Rank ASC, priority DESC" - while allowing a "default" ranking to take place until the rank value is set (by dragging and dropping a card higher on the list)

[JSWSERVER-8486] Allow Rank field to be used as a secondary sort parameter
Hello,
What is the status of this at the time being? I understand it was not on Atlassian's roadmap in 2014 but maybe could be considered now, since looking through the internet and the comments above I still see a demand for it. In my business context, it would also help a lot in managing backlog.
+1 this would be extremely useful, and it's pretty unexpected it's not already supported. We'd also like to use "ORDER BY priority DESC, Rank ASC."
Right now, anything with a "high" priority appears in a seemingly random order. Why not allow users to be able to choose rank within priority groupings?
How has this been resolved? We need to get our backlog of about 100 items grouped by priority and with the ability to move them from the Backlog into the To-Do list in the Backlog screen.
I tried the suggested approach (ORDER BY priority DESC, ORDER BY Rank ASC) and also (ORDER BY Rank ASC, ORDER BY priority DESC) and none of them work as we expected:
- With the first query (ORDER BY priority DESC, ORDER BY Rank ASC) all our items are sorted by priority so they're nicely grouped as we need. However we're unable to move items in the Backlog screen into the To-Do list and the right-click menu on items don't show the options to move them either.
- With the second query (ORDER BY Rank ASC, ORDER BY priority DESC) we got back the ability to move items in the list and into To-Do but of course the list doesn't respect priorities anymore, so we have to manually sort them out with it's really annoying.
I can't upvote this ticket, I guess it's because it has been marked as resolved, but as my experience shows it still doesn't work.
The answer from @mtokar (JIRA Agile Team) was over 4 years ago and given I found several other threads in Internet from teams who are struggling with this very thing and asking if there is any sort of workaround, I'd like to know if Atlassian has reconsidered including this feature for the near future.
Thanks!

Many thanks for reporting this issue, however this is not something we plan to add to JIRA Agile at this time.

I'd want this as well. I want to sort my bugs according to priority, then rank. But I still want to be able to change the rank using drag-and-drop. Currently whenever I create a new bug I have to assign the priority, and after creating the bug go to the rapid board and change the rank to reflect the priority.
Ordering should be able to work like this and it's extremely annoying that you don't allow this.
For example in our case. We want to have unassigned tickets with state "in review" at the top so they are the first thing eveyone sees and can take care of them. At the same time I want to be able to order unassigned tickets by rank (drag and drop). It's annoying that it's not possible
