Problem Statement

Title: Drag-and-drop to reorder project groups in the Code-tab sidebar

Summary: Let users reorder the project group headers in the Claude desktop app's Code-tab left sidebar by dragging them. The current order isn't user-controllable, which makes the sidebar hard to scan once you have more than a handful of projects.

What I want:

Grab a group header (e.g. "BIB", "DISCOGRAPHY", "Ungrouped") and drag it up or down to a new position. The custom order persists across app restarts and syncs with my account, the same way the project list itself does. Bonus: a one-click "Sort A→Z" action in the sidebar's overflow menu, so users with lots of groups don't have to drag them all manually. Why: I maintain ~10 long-lived project groups (one per research domain in a book project). The groups appear to currently be ordered by recency of activity, so they shuffle every time I switch contexts. Visual scanning becomes guesswork. A stable, user-defined order would make the sidebar dramatically easier to navigate. This is the same affordance that file managers, browser bookmark bars, and most IDE sidebars already provide.

Proposed Solution

unsure

Alternative Solutions

Today's workaround: None. There's no setting, no settings.json key, no CLI flag, and the underlying state lives in synced IndexedDB so editing it locally is unsafe.

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful
