We'll work up some ideas internally to see what works best and hopefully implement something within the next few months at most.  As soon as we have something to show, we'll be sure to send you an email to check it out.

I'm not sure if you are aware, but you can drag and drop stories (features) within a theme now.  Also, if you want to move a story to another theme, you can click on the cross (drag icon) and a dialog will appear allowing you to move the story to another theme.  Are you aware of this?  

I really like your solution of severity and priority being combined into a simple digit.digit format, with only 3 options.  One of my concerns has been that should we allow any number to be used for prioritisation (such as 1-100) the meaning of those numbers very soon become meaningless, whereas 1/2/3 couldn't be any simpler.  However, assuming we introduced something like this down the line, how would you expect stories to be ordered then because is a 1.2 more importan than 2.1?

Ok, well if it happens please do post here again and ideally with a screen shot, and I'll jump straight onto it.

Thanks for the feedback.  This is an issue we're actively trying to address, but I'm not sure we've quite figured out the perfect way of fixing it yet, and hence not implemented it.  Hopefully you can help by answering a few questions:

• When do you actually need to order these stories?  The reason I ask is that grouping stories by themes seems to be a popular feature for most users, however I understand some stories in some themes may be higher priority than another theme higher in the backlog.  When would you actually envisage ordering the stories and viewing the stories in order of importance?
• If we added a priority field to each story so you can enter a number say between 0 and 100, would that suffice?  In the sprint view, one could then order by backlog order or priority order.
• Do you think it's necessary to have two views for the backlog, one by theme, and one which is simply a long list that you can re-order?
