Summary
This PR changes activity list ordering to show the newest entries first across the application where activity lists are rendered via the shared activity retrieval logic.
It updates the core activity queries to sort by the existing created-date sort field in descending order and adds a deterministic tie-breaker by
activity_id(descending) to ensure stable ordering when timestamps are identical.Additionally, the Activities module DataGrid ordering is hardened by appending an
activityIDtie-breaker when sorting bydateCreatedSort.Motivation
Seeing the most recent activity first is the expected UX for activity feeds and improves day-to-day usability when reviewing recent interactions.
The deterministic
activity_idtie-breaker avoids unstable ordering caused by equal timestamps, making list rendering predictable and preventing confusing “random” reordering between page loads or environments.
