Problem
Pinned chats stay in the “Pinned” section at the top (Cursor 2.2+), which is great — but the order within the pinned section is not stable.
When I pin chats to specific positions (e.g. position 1 = ongoing project, position 2 = PR review), writing in a pinned chat moves it to the top of the pinned list. The pin keeps it above unpinned history, but it does not keep it at the slot I chose.
This makes pinning much less useful for workflows where each pinned chat has a fixed role, not a “most recently used” priority.
Current behavior
- Pinned chats appear in a “Pinned” block above normal history
- Order within “Pinned” appears to follow last activity (recently used chat jumps to top)
- No setting to lock order
- No drag-and-drop to reorder pinned items
- No “sort pinned by: Manual | Last active | Created” option
Expected behavior
When I pin a chat, its position in the pinned list should stay fixed until I manually change it.
Example:
- Pin chat A → position 1
- Pin chat B → position 2
- Write in chat B → chat B stays at position 2, does not jump above chat A
Proposed solution
Option A (minimal): Pinned order = order pinned (first pinned = top). Activity does not reorder pinned items.
Option B (flexible): Add sort toggle for pinned section:
Pinned sort: [Manual | Last active | Created]
Option C (full): Drag-and-drop reorder in the pinned section + optional lock per chat.
Use case
- Pin 1: long-running project chat
- Pin 2: current PR / code review
- Pin 3: experiment / spike
I switch between them often. I want muscle memory — always the same visual order — not “whoever I last messaged is now #1”.
