   What issue are you seeing?

   I would like the task management experience in Codex's left sidebar to be improved:
   Restore task timestamps
   It would be helpful to display relative times such as “a few minutes ago,” “a few hours ago,” and “yesterday,” or provide a “Show task timestamps” setting.

   Support task sorting options
   Currently, tasks with the latest messages or progress do not automatically move to the top, making it difficult to quickly find recently updated tasks. Please support sorting by the following criteria:
   Most recently updated
   Creation time
   Unread first
   Manual ordering
   Ideally, users should be able to choose the default sorting option.

   Fix the unread blue dot status
   Tasks that have already been opened and read sometimes show the unread blue dot again after Codex is closed and reopened. The read status should be saved correctly and should not incorrectly revert to unread after the app restarts.

   These issues make it less efficient to find and manage tasks when there are many of them. Please restore timestamp information, add configurable sorting, and fix unread status persistence.
   Environment: macOS
   Codex version: 26.803.41515
