Sort channel when switching with ctrl/cmd+k by unread message
Coming from Slack, I was used to switch channel with ctrl/cmd+k. Mattermost feature for that is a little less performant because autosuggestion is sorted alphabetically. In slack, channel with unread message come first which make easier to switch to a channel where a message was just post.
Thanks Martin and everyone else for contributing to this suggestion!
When you now first open the channel switcher via CMD/CTRL+K, the unread channels are listed first.
This is supported in Mattermost 4.9 and later.

This ticket here is part of it:
https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-22854I personally feel the usability of Mattermost has been terribly reduced with these changes.
Unread messages with a mention should be listed first, always. The fancy prioritized recently viewed channels can be there, but the unread messages with a mention shall be listed first.
Being able to navigate between unread mentioned messages (through a dozen teams, hundreds of channels, and 20+ direct messages at any given time) is crucial to my personal ability to reply to people.
Please consider adding back the feature that unread messages with mention be sorted at the top.
