The available sorting options can change based on the context of the list.
For sorting by issue priority, see
[
Label Priority
](
../labels.md#label-priority
)

In group and project issue lists, it is also possible to order issues manually,
similar to

issue boards

)
.
## Sorting by blocking issues **(PREMIUM)**
## Sorting by popularity
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/34247/) in GitLab 13.7.
When you select sorting by
**Popularity**
, the issue order changes to sort descending by the
number of upvotes (
[
awarded
](
../../award_emojis.md
)
"thumbs up" emoji)
on each issue. You can use this to identify issues that are in high demand.
When you sort by
**Blocking**
, the issue list changes to sort descending by the
number of issues each issue is blocking.
## Sorting by created date
When you sort by
**Created date**
, the issue list changes to sort descending by the issue
creation date. Issues created most recently are first.
## Sorting by due date
When you sort by
**Due date**
, the issue list changes to sort ascending by the issue
[
due date
](
issue_data_and_actions.md#due-date
)
. Issues with the earliest due date are first,
and issues without a due date are last.
## Sorting by label priority
When you sort by
**Label priority**
, the issue list changes to sort descending.
Issues with the highest priority label are first, then all other issues.
Ties are broken arbitrarily. Only the highest prioritized label is checked,
and labels with a lower priority are ignored.
For more information, see
[
issue 14523
](
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/14523
)
.
To learn more about priority labels, read the
[
Labels
](
../labels.md#label-priority
)
documentation.
## Sorting by last updated
When you sort by
**Last updated**
, the issue list changes to sort by the time of a last
update. Issues changed the most recently are first.
