Add an option to disable auto-ordering of sticker packs.

If you have a lot of packs, it make sense to order them in a way that makes it easy for you to find the right sticker. This has been the behaviour until recently (and is still how telegram desktop works).

The new behaviour is to put the most recently used pack first on the list and it makes finding the correct sticker much harder than if the packs are in a predefined order.

So there should be an option to keep the old behaviour.

Literally the worst thing telegram has ever done (except for NFTs)
You're right. Nothing tops repossessing user and group names to sell them as NFTs.

The stickers are a really bad user experience though. It makes me wonder if they tested the UX amongst people who use a lot of stickers at all.

Rearranging sticker packs is useless when they move around on their own.

fuck this "feature"
Jo Nov 21, 2022
Don't bump it, get everyone you know to vote for it, there's no other way to get telegram to notice this other than if it's on the top of the issue list for months on end, only THEN will they buckle and give a response

This "feature" is insufferable. Literally no one has asked for it. Why add the option to drag the packs around to your liking if the app won't respect that order anyway?!
Snow 🐕‍🦺 (Service Twink) Nov 24, 2022
What is the purpose of letting us re-order our sticker packs in the Settings menu if you're just going to undo that ordering process and sort by most recently used?

Some packs have a single sticker that I like to use but using it means it bumps the entire sticker pack all the way to the front of the list. I then have to go BACK into the Settings menu to drag the pack to where it belongs.

How is the current behaviour of self-reordering packs more desirable than respecting a users own decision to order their packs a certain way? Why have the feature to manually order packs if you're not going to respect it?

Can I get an actual answer instead of just feeling like we're all just screaming into the void? You've provided no actual reasons why this behaviour is MORE desirable than the setting that is already implemented.

a heads-up for android users
nekogram released a new version of their third party app that gives an option to disable auto-reorder of sticker packs

https://t.me/NekoTestAPKs/469

reminder that this will only work if you only use nekogram on your android device, any other apps will ruin your pack order

This issue alone is literally causing me to evaluate other chat platforms.
Jay Chan Nov 27, 2022
As a user with poor object permanence, high spatial sensitivity, and hundreds of stickers across dozens of packs, this feature makes them impossible to find. I had them arranged with my most frequently used packs at the top, in places I remember where to look for them, but now whenever I use any of them, that system breaks and I have to spend time putting them all back where they belong.
Please either revert this change, or give us a settings option that disables it. I want my sticker packs to stay where I put them.
