Show channel with specific condition on top just like pinned channels on whatsApp

[SSaleemSSI]

Can we show some channels on the top with some custom logic?
e.g I want to show channels on the top if they have pending state like channel in which user is invited should show on the top first and then the other channels?

Hi @SSaleemSSI,

Thanks for reaching out. Have you tried the sort feature of our Channel list query? Here is the link to the docs:
https://getstream.io/chat/docs/ios-swift/query_channels/?language=swift&q=sort
https://getstream.io/chat/docs/sdk/ios/uikit/components/channel-list/#sorting
They contain also some use cases you can base upon.

Let me know if this helps.

Regards,
Hugo

Hi @hugobernalstream Thanks for the help, i read these sorting but the problem is i want to show channels which IDs i have in my array, I dont' know how can i show those channels first. We are using custom pinned channels logic.
User extra data has that list of pinned channels, I saved that list in an array but i want to sort based on that array. How exactly i can do that?

@hugobernalstream ?? Tell me if we can merge the list of channels to another controller ?
if i get two channels, with two different queries how can i merge them?

Hi,

I have a similar issue like above but i looked at the docs and it only allows to apply SORT option based on some variables, but what if i want to apply sort based on my custom boolean var to query channels? Can anybody help me with this?

Hello,

This is now finally implemented on 4.35.0 release. We recommend updating to 4.35.1 though, since it includes an important fix.

You can now sort channel lists by custom properties. You can check the custom sorting section in these docs: https://getstream.io/chat/docs/sdk/ios/client/controllers/channels/#1-create-a-query.

Best,
Nuno
