Need sorting options for the list of recently opened folders on each remote.

Type: Feature Request

Hi,

I use this extension a lot and often open multiple projects directly from it. It’s super convenient to access recent folders from the sidebar.

However, I’ve been running into an issue where it’s hard to find the right folder because the order keeps changing. It would be really helpful to have sorting options for the recently opened folders list—especially the ability to sort by folder name.

Thanks for considering this!

Regards,
Bhaskara

Thank you for the feature request. I can see how having a more stable order would be useful.

I normally connect via the recents dialog which lets me search quickly to get the exact host+workspace i'm looking for. It may be interesting to you. Additionally you can cmd+f in that window, although today you may need to add your own keybinding
