claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Desktop app: cannot sort projects in sidebar [1 participants]

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to wait for a potential update or patch from the Claude Code desktop app team to restore the project sorting feature.

Guidance

• Check the app's settings or preferences for any hidden options related to project sorting, as it's possible that the feature was not removed but rather relocated.
• Look for any updates or patches released after late April 2026, as the issue might have been addressed in a newer version.
• If no updates are available, consider reaching out to the Claude Code support team to report the issue and request the restoration of the project sorting feature.
• Review the app's documentation or release notes to see if there are any mentions of changes to the project sorting functionality.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the macOS version of the app, and it's unclear if this is a regression or an intentional change. Without more information from the development team, it's difficult to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Wait for an update or patch from the Claude Code desktop app team, as it's possible that the feature was temporarily removed or relocated due to a bug or redesign.
