I’m looking at invites I’ve sent, and the one I _just_ sent isn’t the first in the list.

What order are pending invites listed in, and can we get the initial date sent added?

Thanks!

The pending invites are sorted by field `created_at` descending. Invite sent last will appear on top, as per this code:

~~Sure, this is already on my list. Will try to get it done ASAP.~~ Done! 🎁

Very nice!

I guess re-inviting them resets the current count though. Maybe it’d be more useful to know when they were initially invited?
