+## Ordering issues in a list
When an issue is created, the system assigns a relative order value that is greater than the maximum value
of that issue's project or root group. This means the issue will be at the bottom of any issue list that
it appears in.

Any time you drag and reorder the issue, its relative order value changes accordingly.
Then, any time that issue appears in any board, the ordering is done according to
the updated relative order value. If a user in your GitLab instance
drags issue `A` above issue `B`, the ordering is maintained when these two issues are subsequently
-loaded in any board in the same instance. This could be a different project board or a different group
+loaded in any board in the same instance.
+This could be a different project board or a different group
board, for example.
This ordering also affects [issue lists](issues/sorting_issue_lists.md).
