Compare your solution to what's already in Alarms, because it behaves a bit differently:

1. If you have many timers, that they don't fit on screen, sorting scrolls view to the bottom. It doesn't happen in Alarms.
2. There's an animation with timers moving around. In Alarms there's no animation.

[ronniedroid]

My PR did not add those, they were already there, I just added sorting.

[Aga-C]

But there was no sorting before, so no one could see this behavior. I know you've just added sorting, but while adding a new feature, we should make sure that it behaves the same as in other places.

Should I add animation to the alarms or remove it from the timers?

[Aga-C]

Don't add animation and remove it from Timers. We don't have animations while sorting in other apps.

@Aga-C I managed to remove the animation, but the auto scrolling I haven't figured out yet, I will try again later, but though I will say it here and maybe someone can share a tip or an idea.

I move to MyRecyclerViewAdapter for the TimerAdapter to be consistent with the AlarmsAdapter, no visual changes, but now we have no animations and the list does not scroll to the bottom.
