sss: old invites keep rising to the top

[ara4n]

Steps to reproduce

1. open app
2. stale spammy invites from months ago are shown in the first 20 odd rooms in the room list
3. be confused

Outcome

What did you expect?

i expected invites to appear sorted by time they were received in the room list

What happened instead?

something keeps bumping them towards the top. perhaps if there’s activity in the underlying room, the invite is ordered based on that activity rather than the timestamp when the invite was issued? (or perhaps somebody is reissuing spam invites to these rooms)?

@ara4n Haven't seen this in a while, have you?

[ara4n]

i have it constantly. abusive invites which sit at the top of my todo list thanks to the invited room being active in the bg.

@ara4n can you share a rageshake with room ids for invites. It will help us to debug the issue that may be in Synapse. @erikjohnston will have a look.

done - see rageshake.
