I've created several release versions in JIRA (the closest thing I could find to a "sprint" functionality) but I cannot for the life of me figure out how it decides what order to put them in, nor how to change it. I thought maybe it would sort them chronologically by start date, or release date, but no dice.
All I want to do is make a bunch of versions so I can assign user stories, but have them appear in the planning view chronologically.
Any ideas?
Go to the documentation for project-level roadmaps in Jira Software. Navigate to the View settings menu. Choose from the Sort by dropdown menu. To toggle between ascending and descending order on your roadmap, select the up or down arrow next to the field by which you’d like to sort your plan.
Within each status category, issues will be sorted by status alphabetically, depending on whether you're sorting in ascending or descending order. Newly created issues that aren't saved in Jira yet are sorted in ascending order before issues that are already saved in Jira. Sorting issues by priority
On the Versions screen, hover over the relevant version to display the cog icon, then select Release from the drop-down menu. If there are any issues set with this version as their 'Fix For' version, Jira applications allow you to choose to change the 'Fix For' version if you wish.
In the Project > Project Settings > Versions page, the version is not sorted as well: Rearrange the versions accordingly by drag and drop it into the correct order: Fix/Affected Version should be sorted accordingly.
Go to the Versions section of the main page for your project. Because you have permissions to create versions, there should be a "Manage Versions" link in the top right of the content area.
This screen is probably where you added the versions to begin with. In the table is a "Schedule" column which allows you to change the order of the versions, but be careful, this list is showing versions chronologically backwards. In other words, the first/next sprint should be at the bottom.
Sounds like you might want to look at the Greenhopper plugin for JIRA. Anyway, you can order versions by going to Admin, Projects, your Project, Manage Versions and use the up and down arrows
