Slack App List Forces Alphabetical Order With No Option to Sort by Recent Update
A Slack update removed the ability to sort the app list by most recently updated and forced alphabetical ordering instead, with no setting to revert. Users who relied on the recency view to find newly updated apps must reorganize manually every time.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallySlack app-management list is cluttered with outdated apps, hiding actual active integrations
After a recent Slack update, the installed-apps list shows outdated, inactive apps without active builds mixed in with real ones, making it hard to find which integrations are actually active. A regression that adds friction to managing workspace app integrations.
App Update Breaks Beta/Build List Sorting and Filtering
A version 4.3.0 update replaced a recent-builds view with an alphabetized list of every app ever tested (including removed and incompatible builds), removing the ability to sort by last-updated or filter by status. UX regression in build/beta list management that degraded a previously working workflow.
Slack removed option to disable unread priority ordering
Slack users who rely on consistent sidebar ordering lost the ability to disable unread-priority sorting after a product update. This disrupts muscle memory and increases navigation time for power users managing many channels.
Slack App Renders Unreadably After Update (Black Text, Transparent Backgrounds)
A Slack app update broke visual rendering for users, making text unreadable with black-on-transparent backgrounds. The issue blocks core communication workflows immediately after update. This is a platform regression rather than an addressable external gap.
Slack Update Breaks Text Contrast and Causes UI View Layering
A recent Slack update rendered message text black on dark backgrounds, making the app unreadable. Additional regressions include views layering on top of each other and significantly slower performance.
