Manual cards ordering

[mbajur]

I was wondering - are you considering adding manual cards order option to fizzy?

Let's say my customer wants to create a list of tasks (cards) to be done and some tasks has to be done sooner than others. Normally, in most of the systems i ever used, user is able to manually reorder cards so the priority is clearly visible. On fizzy, cards are being ordered by activity which means that if customer wants to create 50 cards - there is no way for him to set their priorities and I'm ending up with an ever-changing list of 50 cards and have no idea what to work on next unless customer tells me that directly which seems messy.

How do you deal with that internally if I might ask?

Great question. We generally don't find that level of prioritization helpful. It tends to create a lot of ongoing curation of lists without much benefit. The next few things matter, the next 13 or 20 things in order, not as much.

If something should be worked on next, we make it a Golden Ticket — a board might have a few of those.

One option is to use a column, like Next Priorities, and drop the 5-10 next cards there. You could also use tags to flag what's next.
