Need help in sorting agile board stories by priority.

[Balaram7]

Hi all,

Need help in sorting out stories based on the priority of the story in Agile board sprint planning.

Below is the screen short attached,  Need to sort out the stories based on priority.(requirement is to display critical stories on the top, followed by High priority, Medium, Low).

But there is no option of sorting in the agile dashboard.

Can anyone help me in listing out the stories based on priority.

Thank you,

Balaram.

Hi @Balaram7 ,

We cannot sort stories in Agile Board. See KB article - link.

However, I have 2 options that can act as a workaround.

Option 1:

Drag the story record on top/below as per your requirement. The sequence is saved permanently.

Hold the 'hamburger' icon  to drag.

See below image for reference:

Option 2:

In Agile board, Click on "View Standard List" button to get redirect to a list view of stories with same filters. 
Here you can apply sorting of your choice. See below image for reference:

Please mark my answer correct/helpful based on impact.

Regards,

Aman

Hi Aman, 

I cannot see the option to drag and drop stories.

Any suggestion on it?

To be specific, the one you highlighted in red, also three dots next to it not visible.

Please let me the reason if any.

Thank you in advance.

Just to add to AMan27's response. When you order your stories by priority on the SAFe Board it will indeed update the Global Rank number; even though the KB article he linked to in his post says 'The ordering of global_rank is not customizable.'

So we groom our stories and order them on the safe board, but when we want to do more of a deep dive and have different filters, we open the safe board stories in list view and then order them by global rank. You can then apply different filters and order if you wish, all the while keeping an eye on the global rank.
