Problem to solve

Minimize the chance of missing some good new issues in the sea of issues

This could be used any time, but it is very useful for a sprint planning kind of meeting. Like, if you use the label filters, it will filter every column, but as the meeting goes you need to see the Sprint Backlog column increasing the number of all issues, not only the type you are adding. Also, you could then reorder by date and you will check what issues have been waiting longer for being solved, etc.

Intended users

This benefits the following types of users:

Everybody

Further details

Some people like to see the issues in the prioritization order, some like to see it in opened date order, some like to see the order already implemented (the prioritization overridden by moving, which makes the prioritization pointless because every new issue will go either to the bottom when people move other issues up/down or the start of the list when people create them through the Open column + icon, which is the source of another problem I'm not going to discuss here) and some like to see all of them depending on what they are looking for.

Proposal

These are the options I'm thinking of (could be added to a combo and save the setting per user like the view comments and history for the issue):

Free moving view (current behaviour)
Prioritization order
ID order (Ascending / Descending)

Something more or less like this (placement might not be the best here, but just to exemplify better what I mean):

Documentation

Testing

Ordering visualization should affect only the user looking at it
Moving issues up/down should only work in the default view (the one we have today)
