Hello, holmes04 what kind of "view" are you using? Boards, Backlog, Sprints or Queries? When using Backlogs or Boards, ADO keeps the priority listing when showing the work items:

Unaihuete the issue with that is that it moves the priority of that feature for the whole company, not just me. There are times when a low priority project for the company might be a high priority project for me.

The issue might be that I am assigned items at all 3 levels (features, user stories, and tasks). Within our company features are actively prioritized by our scrum master, but User Stories and tasks can be freely prioritized by the assigned individuals.

I am really looking for a way to see all 3 levels and prioritize them as needed with respect to eachother, but not impacting the corporate ranking.
