I’m building a Slack app with Agents & AI Apps enabled.
In the app’s History tab, threads appear to be ordered by the timestamp of the first message / parent thread creation, not by the most recent reply
.
That creates a bad UX for my use case:
- an old thread gets a new reply
- the thread does not move back to the top
- active conversations get buried under older threads
I’ve looked through:
- Agents & AI Apps docs
- assistant thread methods like assistant.threads.setTitle
- app manifest features.assistant_view
- app settings / developer console
I haven’t found any option to:
- sort History by latest activity,
- bump a thread after a new reply, or
- configure History ordering in manifest or app settings.
Questions:
- Is the History sort order currently fixed by Slack client behavior?
- Is there any supported way to make History sort by latest reply / last activity?
- Is there any workaround besides creating a brand-new thread instead of replying to an old one?
- If not supported today, is this on the roadmap?

Hi @Harold Zhu,
No, you can’t change it right now.
- The History tab sorting is fixed by Slack’s client (based on thread creation time)
- There’s no setting, API, or manifest option to sort by latest reply or bump threads
- assistant.threads.* methods don’t affect ordering
Workarounds:
- Start a new thread for new activity (most common)
- Or build a custom UI (Home tab / external app) to control sorting
As of now, this isn’t configurable and no public roadmap update is available.
If you find this helpful feel free to mark it as Best Answer !!!! 😊
Thanks and Regards.
