Sort your Azure DevOps sprint backlog by Feature backlog priority directly from the Sprint Backlog page via View Options → Organize backlog.

Features

  • Sort by feature priority - items group by their parent Feature, ordered as they appear in the Feature backlog
  • Configurable "Done" placement - push completed items to the bottom automatically
  • Pinned items - pin specific items or features to always appear at the top
  • Unparented & cross-team placement - control where items with no feature (or a cross-team feature) appear
  • Committed item placement - promote Committed items to the top of the backlog
  • Previous-sprint committed - items committed in a prior sprint float to the top for visibility
  • Preview before applying - see the calculated order preview before applying changes
  • Save & reuse templates - save and share your sort configuration of your team as a named template and quickly apply it to future sprints

  2. Select a sprint, configure sort options, and click Calculate
