Project Group Last Updated Sorting
July 18, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
Optional current-DMG patch for the Projects sidebar.
Upstream applies Last updated to task rows inside each project, but it then
reapplies the saved manual project order to the project groups themselves. A
complete saved order therefore leaves every project header fixed even when a
different project has the newest task.
This feature makes Last updated sort both project groups and their task rows
by recency. Priority and Manual order keep upstream's saved project-group
ordering behavior.
The feature is disabled by default because it intentionally changes upstream
sidebar semantics. Enable it in linux-features/features.json:
{
"enabled": [
"project-group-last-updated-sort"
]
}
Run the feature tests with:
node --test linux-features/project-group-last-updated-sort/test.js
The patch targets only the current upstream Projects sidebar chunk. Upstream bundle drift leaves the asset unchanged and reports an optional patch warning.
