If I use this sort mode, rooms will jump up to the top when users change their names and avatars, join and leave, etc. This isn't expected; the text of the option says "Last message activity", so I would expect that only actual messages affect the sort order.

Git commit 24d4829ba972e22de0176421308da4517cc8c820 by Joshua Goins. Committed on 29/10/2025 at 22:18. Pushed by redstrate into branch 'master'. Clarify what is "recent activity" in our room list ordering settings As seen in the bug report, this setting is a bit confusing. First, it refers to "message activity" but in reality it does take into account all events. This is fine in my opinion, so I clarified that point. Another thing is that it wasn't clear that timeline visibility settings currently affect the sorting, so I added a tip about that. Finally I wasn't happy with these two options being called "Activity" so the old "Activity" setting is now called "Importance". The "Last Message Activity" setting is now called "Newest Events".
