You'll have to explain more what you mean.  It sounds like maybe you
just want a clever use of priority or dates.

You can, of course, create a ticket custom field named Ranking and do
what you'd like with it.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your reply.

We need to implement straight ranking for tickets in a particular queue. 
In other words the value should be unique for each ticket in a particular 
queue. Suppose if we use custom field to rank the tickets how we can 
ensure that the value we enter is unique for that queue and not repeated. 
Please let me know if you need further details.

Thanks,
Jain Jacob

Jain,

Like Thomas said, you'd have to create your own CF. you would then need to
implement some sort of Cron job to evaluate (you would have to determine
some sort of ranking criteria) them ALL on a regular basis since the ranking
value for each might have to be modified based on the criteria. How often it
runs would also be up to you, nightly?

You'll need to write a Scrip that examines the other settings in your
queue to determine if a number is valid.

You could actually do it as an external custom field that only offers
a dropdown list of numbers that aren't taken elsewhere in the queue.
There is documentation in the docs directory about external custom
fields.

The simplest way may be to use the built in priority field, since many
things auto-sort by it, but either way you're going to need a Scrip
that checks when you change the field to see if the input was valid.
