Allow reordering/pinning of session groups in the sidebar

Same request — with "group by" enabled I organize chats into named groups, but the groups themselves are locked to creation order, so a group I want at the bottom stays at the top and I can't move it. Manual drag-to-reorder (or pin-to-top/bottom) for groups would solve this.

Related open duplicates worth consolidating: #72126 and #69343 request the same thing.

+1 on this — the activity-based reordering is a real pain at scale.

I run ~10+ groups in the Code sidebar, organized one-per-company/entity across a
holding group. Because groups auto-sort by most recent activity, they constantly
jump around and I lose track of where each one is — every switch becomes a hunt.

What would fix it for me, in priority order:

1. A sort toggle with an alphabetical option (deterministic, zero maintenance).
2. Pin/favorite to keep a few key groups at the top.
3. Drag-and-drop for a fully custom order.

Even just alphabetical sorting would solve 90% of the problem. Thanks!

Yeah, I desperately need this feature as well. It seems like the custom groups display in the order they are created, which is really annoying. I've tried every possible workaround, and the only one that I've found (and it's entirely unsustainable) is to recreate groups in order and move sessions to those groups, which is horrible, and obviously it breaks if you need to add a new group somewhere within the existing order structure.
If you allow drag-and-drop reordering, manual ordering would solve the problem 100% for me.
Many thanks :-)

Adding my support to this. Across our team we rely on grouping Claude Code sessions by client and project, and not being able to reorder those groups makes the sidebar harder to navigate day to day. Manual reordering or pinning would be a big usability win.

supporting this as well!

👍 for this feature!

A data point on why this is more blocking than it may look: the two grouping modes are each missing the other's capability, so no configuration provides both.

| | auto-assign new sessions to a group | reorder / pin group headers |
|---|---|---|
| groupBy: custom | ✗ (#69105) | ✓ |
| groupBy: project | ✓ (#59982, shipped) | ✗ (this issue) |

Users who hit #69105 are pointed at project grouping as the workaround. It does fix auto-assignment — but it removes manual ordering, which lands them here. Switching back to custom to regain ordering re-introduces #69105. There is no setting that escapes the pair.

Verified on macOS, Claude Code 2.1.211.

Session-level pinning (navPinnedIds / seenDragPinHint in dframe-local-slice) does still work and partially mitigates, since individual sessions can be pinned above the groups — but it doesn't order the group headers themselves.

Related requests for the same capability: #69343 (marked stale) and #73550.

Veo que hicieron cambios y esta bueno que generen los cambios que piden algunos. En mi caso prefiero como estaba antes, para mi caso queda demjasiado deorganizado, seria bueno que → solo el que quiera (como mi caso) volver al estado anterior, anterior.
