Option for issues to be sorted by column (mainly for search result)
Secondary Panel: It would be great if user could sort issues by column by clicking on it or selecting the option from column's dropdown.
Main Panel: In respect to hierarchy, would be also great if user could sort issues that are on same level of indentation, under selected parent.
Example steps for such action could be: 1. Select / highlight parent where sub-issues can be sorted; 2. Select Sort option;
For top level issues in hierarchy, sort could be available by clicking on column or selecting the option from column's dropdown, no issues should be selected in this case.

This suggestion has been implemented in Structure 3.0! Note that Structure 3 has a lot of changes, check out release notes: https://wiki.almworks.com/x/5gquAQ

Thanks for your response Igor! You are very helpful.

Hi Edward, thanks for your comment.
On your questions:
1) You can do that with two filter synchronizers, with the second sync moving the issue under C. Please make sure that (1) the two filters are mutually exclusive, i.e. no issue can satisfy both filters at the same time, and (2) the root issues A and C do not match the filters.
2) Unfortunately, filter synchronizer does not reorder issues at the moment. The only situation where it uses ORDER BY is when it adds new issues - those are added at the end of the list, but the issues being added are sorted.
The implementation of sorting, discussed here, should address that.

Hi Igor, this is by far the best idea for implementation, imho.
Question - say I have a filter sync-ed up to a parent issue (A). Say there is a child issue (x) that originally meets the filter's requirements, but then it changes and no longer qualifies to be under (A). Say, that at this point it meets the filter requirements of another parent issue (C). How can I automatically have (x) move to C?
Also, if there is an ORDER BY under (A)'s filter, how can children under (A) automatically follow the ORDER BY?
I have tried resyncing but with no results.
Thanks!

Andrew, thanks a lot for your comment. We'll look into sorting after version 2.0 is released.

Hi my company is evaluating structure. We love it and think it is incredibly promising. However not being able to sort the structure, particularly by due date is a huge issue. To be clear what we're looking for is the ability for a user to click on a column and sort. This is after the structure has been created and issues have been added. An example would be using a structure gadget in confluence and order issues by due date on the fly during in a planning meeting.

Yasmin, thanks for your comment. ORDER BY should work - but only in the search results panel (the one that shows "NNN more issues in JIRA"). If it doesn't work for you, please send a screenshot to support@almworks.com and we'll investigate.
We'll work on sorting anyway.

Igor, my company is currently evaluating Structure, and the inability to easily sort is one issue we are having. I tried entering a JQL query with ORDER BY, but it didn't work. (Please note, I'm using the Greenhopper and Saved Filter synchronizers -- not sure if this would interfere)

Hi Igor,
JQL search is more powerful, I agree. But clicking on the column is definitely easier for average business user.Thanks for including this one in your plan!

Helen, thanks for the idea!
As of now, if you press JQL button in the search panel you can add ORDER BY statement to your JQL search for the sorting. (Of course sorting by clicking on a column would be much better.)
