The order column in Azure boards

I am using Azure DevOps boards and when I navigate to Backlogs in Azure Boards, I see a column named Order.

enter image description here

When I check/open the work items, they don't have a field named "order". There is no value seen for that column for us. We are not sure whats the purpose of such field/column and where we can enter the values for it.

Kindly share your information on this.

This column represents a sequence of your work. The mapped work item field depends on your team project process template: Backlog priority or stack rank order

As you drag and drop items within the backlog list, a background process updates the Stack Rank (Agile and CMMI processes) or Backlog Priority (Scrum process) fields

Additionally, the backlogs do not show the order if you enable parents in the view.
