Bug description

The chats in my Linux desktop Signal app are not sorted by last message sent / received, but in a (to me) random order.
If I send a message with the desktop app, the chat is moved to the top of the list.

Steps to reproduce

Well, starting the app is enough as I never see a well sorted list.

Actual result:

Randomly sorted chat list

Expected result:

Sorted by last sent / received chat list

Screenshots

Platform info

Signal version:

1.17.3

Operating System:

GalliumOS 2.0 (which is based on Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit).

Linked device version:
iOS 2.30.2.16

This looks like a duplicate of #1393 - would you agree?

Well, it is not (entirely) the same:

• restarting does not help - it is still not sorted
• It does not seem to be tied to groups: to me, all chats are scattered around.

I'm having the same issue on macOS. I also run Signal on my iPhone, and never had any issues before installing the new desktop version. I previously ran the Chrome version of Signal without any issues.

I had this issue too but I cannot reproduce anymore.
