Thanks for the suggestions guys, the reason I wanted to get rid of priority sort is because we had set OTRS to display closed tickets and so some closed tickets that had had a high priority were displaying before more recently created open tickets so it was confusing!

We decided to get rid of the closed tickets display anyway so its not so much of an issue now.

Thanks!

Emily

It kind of defeats the purpose of using priorities, when you do not  
prioritize. Please think about using the default functionality as  
designed. You can turn off the priority fields throughout OTRS and/or  
use and ACL to blend out all other priorities other then the default  
level, so that these fields cannot be used, as an alternative. The  
only screens not possible to turn the functionality off is the phone  
and email ticket. So an ACL will take care of that.

You are very right. This is hard coded in AgentTicketQueue.pm

        else {

157                
            %Sort = (

158                
                SortBy  => [ 'Priority', $SortBy ],

159                
                OrderBy => [ 'Down',     $OrderBy ],

160                
            );

161                         }

This is also a good alternative. Thanks for the tip and supporting  
your fellow members!

@Emily, you can turn off the sorting, with a little Perl knowledge.  
But, as you have heard some good alternatives, I recommend not doing  
it. Just a tip!
