Tasks in the Wrong Order? Fix It in Seconds with Drag & Drop

In today’s world, change is constant. Sprints shift. Stakeholders update priorities. Bugs show up mid-demo. And if your tools can’t keep up — your team slows down. You don’t have time to dig through Jira issues or explain task changes in Slack threads. That’s why flexibility isn’t optional anymore. It’s essential.

When your checklist reflects real-time priorities, your team:
– Takes faster action
– Avoids duplicated work
– Stays aligned — no micromanagement required

With Tick’s drag-and-drop, your Jira workflow becomes as flexible as the world you work in. You adapt instantly. Your checklist follows.

🔧 Drag and Drop Checklist Feature for Jira — What It Is and How to Use It

The Drag & Drop feature in Tick lets you quickly reorganize checklist items inside Jira without editing the issue or navigating away from your workflow. It works seamlessly on both desktop and mobile — because flexibility should follow you wherever work happens.

✅ Reordering Tasks — Instantly. Instead of clicking through multiple Jira fields or rewriting checklists manually, just:

1. Hover over the task you want to move
2. Click and Drag the task to the desired position in the checklist
3. Release — Tick saves the new order automatically

📱 On mobile? Using the official Jira app (iOS or Android), you can open any issue, tap and hold a task with your finger, then drag it where it belongs — just like moving apps on your phone. Tick’s mobile view is fully functional and optimized for smaller screens: each task is displayed in two clean rows — the first shows task content, the second contains all key actions like status, assignee, due date, checkbox, and remove. And yes — it works perfectly in both light and dark mode.

🧠 Real-World Jira Use Cases for Drag and Drop Checklists

Let’s look at how real teams use this feature every day:

🛠️ Product & Project Teams — Mid-Sprint Prioritization. You start the sprint with a checklist — but two days in, a critical request lands. Suddenly, task #9 is now task #1.With Tick: You just drag the new priority to the top, and the team sees it instantly. Clarity wins.

🧪 QA Engineers — Changing Test Sequences in Real Time. Bugs evolve, blockers appear, and test flows change. With Tick: QA specialists can move tasks like “Retest Login Flow” above less urgent items — keeping checklists logical and efficient, without rewriting the whole flow.

👥 HR & People Ops — Customized Onboarding. Let’s say you onboard a new designer and a backend dev on the same day. Same checklist template — but different priorities. With Tick: You can rearrange onboarding steps per role in seconds. Laptop setup first for one, access permissions for the other. Tailored experience, zero hassle.

Ever shared your Jira screen and had to say, “Ignore the order, today we’re doing this first”? Now you don’t have to. With Tick’s drag-and-drop, you rearrange your checklist live before (or during) the standup — and the team knows exactly what matters today.
