Description
Section titled “Description”Jira now sorts parent work items by their parent ID instead of the parent work item summary. This helps you see parent–child relationships in a more consistent and predictable order across views. To get started with this change: Open your Jira space. Go to a view or feature where parent work items are listed or sorted. Check that parent issues are now ordered by their parent ID instead of their summary.
