Make posts/users sortable by chat activity

[evan-scales]

On the social page we should also allow the ability to sort users/posts based on activity of the chat. Chat already has a property for LastMessage - Message & LastMessageAt - DateTime. This filtering probably won't be too difficult for posts as each post has a chat, but it will be a bit more difficult for users.

For that I think we would need to add a nullable Chat property to UserRelation. Nullable because we don't need one when blocking a user or just sending a friend request. But we would still be able to message users you are not friends with. When a friend relation is made we either make a new chat for the relation, or find their existing chat. With that added we could now sort users based on chat activity

I think this stuff can wait untill after beta, if at all

AC

• Make api able to sort posts/users based on their chat activity
• Add sort selector to social, including sort options we currently use on discover + new chat activity option
• Display the last message sent on user/post cards on social

Hi @josemvidal I feel like we're lacking new features in the rc1 release. Is it okay to add this to rc1 release too?

[jbytes1027]

IMO I think we should focus on more testing and commenting @evan-scales. If we get all our current and backlog issues done then maybe work on a new feature the week before rc1. Also, this would be a lot of work for a small usability feature.

Yes, you can always add more if you want.

@jbytes1027 Our backlog is mostly filled with commenting (non-coding), testing (also kinda non-coding), and small quick fixes.

Considering this is our last chance to add new features, and almost all apps with a chat component automatically sort them by last activity, I will complete this for rc1.
