VSTS - Backlog Priority altered by sorting in columns
<p>I am attached to a project using VSTS, with the Scrum process selected. As the Product Owner sorts the backlog, things work fine with respect to the Backlog Priority value under the hood.</p>

<p>As tasks move along the Board, from column to column, I have noticed that the ordering of cards within a column will impact the Backlog Priority. This seems contrary to good sense.</p>

<p>Is there a justification why a developer's move of a card within a column such as "In QA" would result in that item being ranked above the other cards in the backlog?</p>

<p>I think it would be better if the sorting/ranking only worked on the Backlog itself. Once an item is underway in the columns, moving it up and down, as developers tend to do, should not disrupt its position in the backlog.</p>
