Rooms can't be reordered manually

[sersorrel]

Description

Rooms in the room list apparently can't be reordered by hand – I think, from looking around the other issues, that they're automatically ordered by last activity? If they should be reorderable, then the bug is that they aren't; if they shouldn't be reorderable, then the bug is that the UI makes the user think that they should be.

Steps to reproduce

• Be in at least two rooms
• Try to reorder the list of rooms
• Get positive visual feedback of the other rooms bubbling around as you drag a room around the list
• Observe that the room snaps back to its original position when released after a short delay where it appears to be settling into the new position, making it look like a bug that rooms can't be reordered

If rooms intentionally aren't reorderable, I wouldn't expect the other rooms in the list to move around when one room is being dragged, since it doesn't actually matter where in the list the room gets dropped.

They can be in favorites, but not rooms (which internally is even called "recents" or something I think). Reordering should definitely be a thing you can optionally do.

Thanks for reporting this! The current intent is that you can drag between the categories of rooms (favorites, low priority), but you can't reorder inside a single category. I agree it feels strange, so hopefully it can be improved.

I believe this is a duplicate of #7086. Please reopen if it seems like a separate issue.
