Codex App project sort setting does not persist after selecting Recently updated

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.623.9142.0

What subscription do you have?

Plus

What platform is your computer?

Windows x64

What issue are you seeing?

In the Codex Windows app, the project sidebar sort option does not persist.

When I open the project sidebar menu, go to Sort condition, and select "Recently updated", the selection appears to work temporarily. However, when I open the menu again, the selected option has reverted back to "Manual sort".

This makes it difficult to keep projects ordered by the latest conversation or activity time.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Feedback ID: 019f1b5b-ed1c-7c41-827c-5ee534b40a58

What is the expected behavior?

After selecting "Recently updated", the Codex app should keep that sort option selected and continue sorting projects by their most recent activity or latest conversation time.

Additional information

The issue was observed on the Windows Codex app. The setting appears to reset immediately when reopening the menu, rather than being persisted as a user preference.
