Sort Agile board by team members
When using Agile board I often come to the question of how to sort a tasks on the boar by our team members.
Is there any such option? If it's not, which other options do I have in other parts of YouTrack?

Hi!
I'm Sergey from the YouTrack team.
Based on your screenshot, your case could be covered by setting up swimlanes based on a user field (e.g.,
Swimlanes are identified by Values from field Assignee
). Then each swimlane will be set to a specific user and show the cards assigned to them.If you have any questions, please let me know.
Sergey, thank you! It works.
Is there any way to quickly switch between the swimlines?
For example, I have default view:
Todo In Progress Done
Bug
Task
Story
And then I want to split my tasks between assignees:
Todo In Progress Done
Employee1
Employee2
Employee3
Of course, I could have two different agile boards with this settings, but it will lead me to manually sync this two boards, which is undesirable.
Thanks for your response.
Only if you update the board settings each time. It's not possible to have two different sets of the swimlane settings on the same board.
You can set both boards to add issues automatically in the board behavior settings. For example, you can set it to a specific query, then both boards will always have the same issues added without your manual input on each board.
Other than that, you can create all sorts of issue-related automations (e.g., add an issue to a board) using a workflow. Basically, you create a script that automates issue-related tasks. If you are not familiar with this functionality, please refer to our tutorial.
Board behaviour requires to open two independent sprints, so if I miss creating sprint on one of the boards, I will have to sync it manually. Creating worflow in JS is complicated too.
Can I submit feature request to create something like swimlane profiles or just ability to split the tasks by employees on the board?
If yes, how to do that?
Thanks for your response.
You can link multiple boards to the same sprint field as described in the documentation I linked in the previous response. So the sprints will be synced across all the boards that have swimlanes defined by this field.
We have a public issue tracker at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/JT where, among other types of issues, you can see and submit public feature requests. However, it's preferable that you share your requests with our support team first since we have more context and details about potential changes. Then we can submit it on your behalf and share the link with you. This way you won't waste your personal time submitting features that for one reason or the other won't be implemented.
Unfortunately, having swimlane profiles or grouping outside swimlanes is not something that we consider implementing due to how boards work under the hood and overall structure, hence I've not submitted a feature request in this case.
