Problem Statement

In the lower right corner of Claude code there is a model picker. It is sorted one through nine at the moment. My request is that you sort that based on capability/cost. For example, number one is Fable 5, number two is Fable 5 (1M context). Fable 5 (1M context) has higher-capability and higher-cost And should therefore be ranked number one instead of number two. The same should work for Opus because it has the same issue. This is a super simple fix and I'm not sure why you sorted in the way you do because it is not intuitive to the user the way it is now.

Proposed Solution

Sort it by capability/cost instead.
