Original Pull Request: https://github.com/langgenius/dify/pull/25328

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Summary

Fixed trigger list position instability when toggling trigger status.

Problem:
When multiple triggers were created at nearly the same time, they could have identical created_at timestamps. When sorting by created_at DESC only, the database used unstable secondary sorting. Updating a trigger status would change its updated_at field, potentially affecting the unstable sort order and causing triggers to change positions.

Solution:
Added id as a secondary sort key for stable sorting.

  • Uses existing primary key index (zero performance overhead)
  • Provides completely stable sorting since id is unique and immutable
  • Maintains original business logic (newest triggers first)
  • No database migration required

Testing:

  • Triggers now maintain consistent positions when toggling status
  • No breaking changes to existing functionality
