Create items last on backlog

We would like new items to end up last on the backlog. I updated the WIT field Backlog Priority in the first transition and set that to 2000000 but it was changed back to a lower number automatically (with a 2nd revision)

Anyway this can be accomplished?

TFS 2015 update 3 on prem.

Thanks!

Just as nschonni commented, new items will automatically appear at the last on backlog.

After you've got some items on your backlog, you can order them and create a prioritized list of work. Frequently reviewing and prioritizing your backlog can help your team know what's most important to deliver next.

Reorder your backlog by simply dragging work items. Or, if you prefer the keyboard, hold the Alt key and use the up and down arrows.

enter image description here

You should refrain from using the bulk modify function to change the backlog priority of work items. While you can assign a value to the Backlog Priority (Scrum) or Stack Rank (Agile and CMMI) fields, you'll be assigning the same value to all items you've selected for bulk edit. These fields are used by the system to track the relative ranking of items on the product, feature, or epic backlogs.

Update

When you use the quick add, the new crated item either in the top or bottom is based on the position of your mouse.

For example, if you put the mouse at the top, the new created item should also at the top. If you put the mouse at the bottom, then it will also appear at the bottom. More if you want the created at a specific position, you just need to move your mouse.

enter image description here The select items should have a grey background.
