## Prioritize labels
>**Notes:**
- This feature was introduced in GitLab 8.9.
- Priority sorting is based on the highest priority label only. This might
change in the future, follow the discussion in
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/18554.
Prioritized labels are like any other label, but sorted by priority. This allows
you to sort issues and merge requests by priority.
To prioritize labels, navigate to your project's **Issues > Labels** and click
on the star icon next to them to put them in the priority list. Click on the
star icon again to remove them from the list.
From there, you can drag them around to set the desired priority. Priority is
set from high to low with an ascending order. Labels with no priority, count as
having their priority set to null.
![Prioritize labels](img/labels_prioritize.png)
Now that you have labels prioritized, you can use the 'Priority' filter in the
issues or merge requests tracker. Those with the highest priority label, will
appear on top.

## Subscribe to labels
If you don’t want to miss issues or merge requests that are important to you,
simply subscribe to a label. You’ll get notified whenever the label gets added
to an issue or merge request, making sure you don’t miss a thing.
Go to your project's **Issues > Labels** area, find the label(s) you want to
subscribe to and click on the eye icon. Click again to unsubscribe.
![Subscribe to labels](img/labels_subscribe.png)
If you work on a large or popular project, try subscribing only to the labels
that are relevant to you. You’ll notice it’ll be much easier to focus on what’s
important.
