Resume picker "Updated" column not sorted by updated time

[atlascodesai]

Summary
The resume picker list is ordered by created_at, but the UI column is labeled “Updated,” so the timestamps appear out of order.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run codex resume
2. Observe the “Updated” column ordering (e.g., a newer “1 minute ago” entry can appear below “1 hour ago”)

Expected
Rows should be ordered by the displayed “Updated” timestamp (most recent first).

Actual
Rows are ordered by created_at while the “Updated” column shows a different timestamp.

Evidence

• Before: (attach Image update summary to auto #1)
• After: (attach Image (cleanup) add link to https://cookbook.openai.com for apply_patch and minor tidy up #2)

Proposed fix
In the resume picker, request ThreadSortKey::UpdatedAt instead of CreatedAt so ordering matches the “Updated” column.

Code change (suggested)

- ThreadSortKey::CreatedAt
+ ThreadSortKey::UpdatedAt

File: codex-rs/tui/src/resume_picker.rs (also update the resume picker snapshot test call in the same file to match)

Notes
Using UpdatedAt relies on file mtime sorting; this may be a bit heavier than CreatedAt, but it aligns with the UI label.

Local validation

• cargo build -p codex-cli
• cargo test -p codex-tui

Also, a side note: it would be nice if you could make the repository more friendly for submitting an issue via the codex because I wasn't able to neatly fit this into a bug report and I don't really want to copy and paste all the text in.

Also to note, happy to open a PR for this. It was a very simple change but I read your guidelines. So we're starting here.

Which version of the Codex CLI are you using? I'm not able to repro this with the latest version. I think it may have been fixed recently. Please update to the latest and confirm whether you're still seeing it.

codex-cli 0.93.0

I don't have any current prompt for autoupdate but I just ran it manually to update to 0.94.0 now but still seeing it:

I pulled rust-v0.94.0 and confirmed the resume picker still sorts by CreatedAt, which mismatches the “Updated” column in the UI.

Evidence (0.94.0 tag):

• codex-rs/tui/src/resume_picker.rs:160
  The picker page loader calls RolloutRecorder::list_threads(..., ThreadSortKey::CreatedAt, ...)
• codex-rs/tui/src/resume_picker.rs:1426
  The resume picker snapshot test also uses ThreadSortKey::CreatedAt

Suggested fix (what I tested yesterday too):

ThreadSortKey::CreatedAt -> ThreadSortKey::UpdatedAt

(also update the snapshot test in the same file)
