How do I change sort order for release versions in JIRA/Greenhopper planning?

I've created several release versions in JIRA (the closest thing I could find to a "sprint" functionality) but I cannot for the life of me figure out how it decides what order to put them in, nor how to change it. I thought maybe it would sort them chronologically by start date, or release date, but no dice.

All I want to do is make a bunch of versions so I can assign user stories, but have them appear in the planning view chronologically.

Any ideas?

On the Releases page, you can sort the versions/releases by dragging the three line icons (located on the left hand side of the releases list) up and down.

In Greenhopper the order is not following the settings that apply for normal JIRA, but the ordering is on "release date" with "sooner" ones being ordered above "later" ones and ones without release date are added at the bottom.

...but be careful, this list is showing versions chronologically backwards. In other words, the first/next sprint should be at the bottom.

Is there a way to reverse that? To have the first/next sprint at the top? For example:

  • Version 7.2
    • 7.2 Sprint 1 (May 1 - May 31)
    • 7.2 Sprint 2 (June 1 - June 30)
    • 7.2 Sprint 3 (July 1 - July 31)
  • Version 7.3 (August 1 - August 31)
    • 7.3 Sprint 1 (September 1 - September 30)
    • 7.3 Sprint 2 (October 1 - October 31)
    • 7.3 Sprint 3 (November 1 - November 30)

Sounds like you might want to look at the Greenhopper plugin for JIRA. Anyway, you can order versions by going to Admin, Projects, your Project, Manage Versions and use the up and down arrows

Go to the Versions section of the main page for your project. Because you have permissions to create versions, there should be a "Manage Versions" link in the top right of the content area.

This screen is probably where you added the versions to begin with. In the table is a "Schedule" column which allows you to change the order of the versions, but be careful, this list is showing versions chronologically backwards. In other words, the first/next sprint should be at the bottom.
