Zephyr Squad Cloud

I am also looking for solution of this issue..

This is received from the support: As of now, we can sort the Issue id with ascending or decreasing order but we can't order the test cases in the cycle.

I think the most wanted case is to be able to order it manually in the test cycle when I add a new test case.

Is this not the same as https://z4j-cloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas/Z4J-I-132

Additionally, could you confirm whether it is actually my "issue id"? I copied the url for some of the test cases in the cycle list view without clicking on ordering, and here is what I find:

issue.id:

&issue.id=462842

&issue.id=462840

&issue.id=462841

&issue.id=462844

&issue.id=462850

The order is incorrect

But it seems that it is sorted by another field by default "execution.id":

&execution.id=08ac8095-c0bc-46d6-9ffd-xxxxxx

&execution.id=1f08dbda-f339-4e52-86f7-xxxxxx

&execution.id=27d79f36-b841-4b47-8222-xxxxxx

&execution.id=304ef828-05a4-4770-8bd3-xxxxxx

&execution.id=431aaced-ebec-45ab-8b96-xxxxxx

Could you confirm if this is expected?

Thank you @sanjeev! To me, I would prefer data model change so that Issue Key could be used for sorting.

At the same time since it gest sorted by Issue Id, is there a way we can define that field? Our tests are now imported using the internal importer, but I don't see a field I could map as "Issue Id" in the import Mapping step. Thank you!

Today it gets sorted by Issue Id, i.e. 10000, 10001, 10002 and not Issue Key. As Issue Key is a Jira field, we are not storing it at our end, so sorting is not available on that today.

To make sorting available on Issue Key, either we need to update our data model to save that info or we can provide a client side sorting on the data per page of the grid.

Would you prefer any of this option?

The feature of custom reordering is in our roadmap and we have already planned to implement it. The application is currently undergoing infrastructural changes, where the underlying database is getting replaced with another one. As the implementation of this feature requires the existing data model and schema changes, we would be implementing it with that. I will be providing an update soon once we start the implementation.

Thank you.

I would also like to be able to re-order the tests in a cycle by dragging and dropping.

Right now, it's not clear how they are ordered. It appears to be neither by test Test ID, nor in order the tests are added to the cycle.

Is this a bug that caused the tests to be ordered randomly?

Or ability to drag/drop to manually re-order into the desired logical sequence, handy if test cases are added later, but they need to go into the middle of the cycle (ID sort would then be of no use). But ID sort is also very useful as an addition.

or better yet, retain the sorting that I set (or at least today's session)?
