Is there a way to change the default sort order in Github for issues and pull requests? The default is "Newest", but I would prefer "Recently updated", as I want to see the most recent activity.
The default sort order often buries recent updates down far from the top of the list. Every time I visit the list of issues or pull requests, I have to manually change the sort order to "Recently updated", which is annoying.
GitHub does not support this natively, however, there is an extension Refined GitHub that includes that as one of the many tweaks.
Refined GitHub is a browser extension that simplifies the GitHub and GitHub Enterprise interfaces and adds useful features.
Most features can be disabled if they are JavaScript-based and the extension's CSS can be overridden in the extension's options.
The extension adds ~20 features for conversations including changing the default sort order to Recently updated.
The ~300 Features are listed on the Repository page grouped by:
The extension works with Chrome (and other Chromium browsers), Firefox (including Firefox Android), and Safari on Mac, iOS, and iPadOS.
