Jira Swimlane Shuffler Extension

Jira displays assignee swimlanes in alphabetical order. This can make daily stand-ups frustrating for the Willamsons and Zordons in the group, especially when the Barclays and Chens take too much time.

This extension will take div elements of class \"ghx-swimlane\" and randomly shuffle them on the page.

Juan Zamudio (ID: 0000005b5ad5bf95) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/19/2021 Really good. Sadly I can´t move stories when I shuffle things up, so I have to refresh the page and then I can, which defeats the purpose of the shuffle. other than that works as stated. simple and light.

Open Source Freedom (ID: 0000003dcc92c862) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/02/2021 All but me... The way standups are ran when we walk the board we have to do through everyone, and this does a fantastic job of mixing thigs up. I was going to write one myself, but now I don't hav eto. I would add an option to allow "my assignments" to be hidden or moved to the bottom though. As the SM I take care of moving the parent stories/issues and the devs handle theirs. If we could lust focus on them it would be helpful. :-) Thanks for this!
