[Problem/Question]
When I query my list of group channels, ordered by “latest_last_message”, the new channels I haven’t accepted yet are listed last and have “last_message: null”.
This is a big inconvenience in my scenario where I’m only querying 10 channels at a time.
If I have more than 10 “accepted” channels, the “invited” ones will not be returned in the first batch even if they have messages more recent than all of the “accepted channels”.
I have users with 300+ channels.
When someone sends them a message on a new channel, they have to scroll to the end of the list to see the new channel.
[SDK Version]
3.1.29
[Reproduction Steps]
- Have a large number of “accepted” Group Channels, all with messages sent a while ago, let’s say 15 “accepted” channels, all of them with messages sent more than 3 days ago
- Be invited to a Group Channel with messages sent in the past 3 days
- Query 10 channels ordered by “latest_last_message”
const query = sendbird.GroupChannel.createMyGroupChannelListQuery();
query.includeEmpty = true;
query.limit = 10;
query.order = "latest_last_message";
query.next((channelList, error) => {/*
we get 10 channels, ordered by latest_last_message
but doesn't include the most recent one, which we haven't accepted yet
but has messages
*/})
- Query 10 additional channels
query.next((channelList, error) => {/*
we get the remaining 6 channels, ordered by latest_last_message
except the newest channel, not accepted yet
that comes last in the list
with last_message: null
despite the fact that it does have messages
*/})
[Frequency]
Always
[Current impact]
Users don’t see the new channels in the list and they may have to scroll through hundreds of channels to find the new ones they have just been invited to.
