• Uses Microsoft Xml Xls format for the spreadsheet allowing more complex spreadsheets to be built so that we could support this feature
• We now create two Worksheet Tabs when you export your Backlog, the first one "Backlog Report" is very similar to what you saw before.  However, the second one "Story List" is a complete list of stories without spaces, and an Auto-filter applied  to the top header row so you can filter the stories as you wish.

In response to your point however, this is something we have considered, however for simplicity of the interface, and the user experience for most of our users, we opted to keep stories grouped by Themes only, and stories cannot be attached to other stories (epics).  When a story is too big (an epic), we recommend splitting the story anyway into smaller stories, thus negating the need for epics.

I do understand the need for this, however no one other than you is asking for it, so until we have sufficient demand justifying the added complexity, unfortunately I am going to have to say we're going to park this suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion, and if anyone else feels this is a needed feature, please say so we are aware of it.

Thanks,

Matt
