I'll take a look at this, if nobody is against.

@BasThomas I think this is slightly different then the ticket I opened that you referenced. My older ticket focused on the aggregation of all the issues within a specific filter type, aka created or mentioned, and them all showing up consistent with the site.

Your ticket revolves around time stamps. Assuming we are identifying the same thing on this one, what I noticed is that GitHub issue tickets will not fall in chronological order specifically when you yourself are the only one to post a new comment. Unless someone else comments after, the timestamp will update to newer but since there is no new activity for you to review, it doesn’t bump it to the top. I actually wish it sorted chronologically regardless but it’s not an app error but just how GitHub handles things (the site actually will show it the exact same way). I have even emailed them directly about this requesting that they added an option to sort chronologically for all tickets, even if you are the only updater.

If we are on the same page here and you agree, I would love you to send GitHub another ticket on this to add visibility to what I wrote and hopefully influence them more to accommodate. If it’s something different, apologies and carry on.

Interesting, @ijm8710. It feels like it would be behaving as expected then, as of now? It’s a bit confusing though. I’m not sure what the UX would look like, but GitHawk could add it as an option to sort by “last updated”? What do you think?

Sounds like Ryan was against it

If you and I are on same page of having it sort chronologically, regardless of whether the last update was made by “you”/“not you”, the best way to drive it would be to nudge GitHub like I did. Like I said, I would love another voice to echo the request I already made to them myself!

Ps any idea if Ryan just wanted a little break or if he was trying to back away from this in general. Either way I’m super appreciate of the app and the hard work that went into it, was just curious if you expect him to pop back in whenever he so chooses (which is obv completely his call) or if it would make sense to have more people at his admin level to perhaps keep driving innovation align to what he would want

All I know is that he's not active at the moment.
