In the boring sidebar, threads inside a project folder did not move when you sent a message. The newest thread you talked to could sit at the bottom of its folder.
Now each folder lists its threads by the last message the user sent, most recent at the top. This reuses sortWorkingThreadsBySend, which the Working shelf already uses. Agent and wake messages do not move a thread. Drag reorder was already off inside folders, and the default sidebar order does not change.
Both captures show the same data. Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie were started in that order, then the user sent a new message to Alpha.
Proof: in the dev app with Replay threads, I sent a user message to Alpha from the composer. Alpha moved to the top. With the fix reverted, it stayed at the bottom. vp run check:changed passes.

Verdict: Needs Human Approval
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Boring-mode folders now automatically place threads with the latest user message first; other sidebar modes are unchanged. A human must confirm this change to the folders’ default ordering behavior.

Explanation
The title names the core change: threads in boring sidebar project folders are now ordered by the user's latest message. It follows the conventional commit format with a fix(web) scope and stays within the scope of the changeset, which updates Sidebar.tsx to pass sortActiveBySend. The title is concise and specific.
Explanation
The description covers the problem, the change, and verification. It states the problem (threads in a folder did not move after the user sent a message), the fix (folders sort by last user message, reusing sortWorkingThreadsBySend), and the unchanged behavior (drag reorder off in folders, default order unchanged). It includes before/after screenshots and a manual verification with a revert check, so the UI verification requirement is met. The template's Scope and approval section is missing: there is no linked triaged issue or maintainer-approved discussion, and no explanation of why this small fix qualifies without one. The description also omits the model and harness line, though it names Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, which partly covers the agent disclosure. The Problem and Change headings are not labeled as template sections; the content is present but uses a different structure.
Resolution
Add a Scope and approval section. Link the triaged bug issue or the maintainer-approved discussion, including the approval comment. If no issue exists, explain why this very small, focused fix of an obvious bug qualifies without prior approval. Restructure the description under the template headings (Problem, Change, Scope and approval, Verification). Keep the agent disclosure at the end, in the form the template asks for (model and harness).

Keep omitted user timestamps out of folder ordering.
When a folder thread omits latestUserAuthoredMessageAt, sortWorkingThreadsBySend uses latestRun.requestedAt; explicit null does not trigger that fallback. A wake run can become the newest run from a notification without a new user-authored message. Its request time can therefore move the folder row. Normalize omitted timestamps to null in this folder-only branch so Working-shelf sorting keeps its existing fallback.

Note
🤖 Claude Opus 5.5 responding on behalf of Theo
Declining. The fallback only runs when the server omits latestUserAuthoredMessageAt. Current servers always set it, as a timestamp or null (ProjectionStore.ts, shell projection and shell row query). So on a current server, a wake run never moves a folder row.
The fallback only matters for older servers. There, the folder uses the same order as the Working shelf, which is a fair approximation. Special-casing that path would add code for an old-server case that this change does not need.
@t3dotgg Understood. My finding treated the older-server fallback as a defect without accounting for the accepted compatibility behavior. Current servers provide a timestamp or null, so that fallback does not apply. I withdraw the suggestion; no folder-specific normalization is needed.
