Sort Fix versions

You can change which Fix Version (release) is returned by certain JQL functions by changing the order of the versions in Jira's configuration.

Follow these steps:

1. In the Jira sidebar, open Spaces.

2. Click the ••• actions menu for the space used as the report source.

3. Click Space settings.

4. In the sidebar, click Versions.

5. On the Releases page, select All statuses from the dropdown next to the search box.

6. Make sure the Releases column is not sorted. No arrow should appear next to the column name. In this unsorted view, the version at the bottom of the list is considered the earliest unreleased version. For example, in the screenshot below, earliestUnreleasedVersion() returns Version 2.0.

   (Optional) Return to the unsorted view, then click and hold a release row and drag it up or down to change its position. Place the active, or earliest unreleased, version at the bottom of the list.

7. (Optional) Review the release names and update them if necessary.

   In the sorted view, Jira sorts release names alphabetically. For example, 1A appears before A1, while A 1 (with a space) appears before A1 (without a space).

8. Repeat the previous steps for released versions. In the unsorted view, the version at the top of the list is considered the latest released version and is returned by latestReleasedVersion().
