feat: reorder providers in settings and follow that order everywhere - #33340
Providers always appear in a fixed built-in order. Usage ranks them by the selected metric, Limits groups them in discovery order, and the model picker follows the server's snapshot order. A user with several subscriptions cannot put the ones they use most first, and the order differs between surfaces and devices.
Change
Settings → Providers lets you reorder the provider list: drag a row by its grip, or focus the grip and press the up or down arrow key. The order is saved in server settings, so every web, desktop, and mobile client on that environment shows the same order in:
the Settings → Providers list
Usage: summary list, chart, breakdown columns, and the provider filter
Limits: the provider pools (accounts inside a pool keep their reset order)
the model picker on web and mobile, and every other provider selector built on providerInstanceEntriesFor
Until a user reorders anything, every surface keeps today's order. When a new conversation has no remembered, project, or draft model, T3 Code falls back to the first provider in the list; with a saved order, that is the provider the user put first. This is intentional and documented in the user guide.
ServerSettings.providerOrder: ProviderInstanceId[] (new, default [])
Settings → Providers sorts rows, writes the whole array on drop or arrow key
providerInstanceEntriesFor / mobile buildModelOptions sort instances by it
Usage, Limits rank each driver by its first listed instance
Notes on the design:
providerOrder is replaced whole on patch. deepMerge merges arrays by index and would keep stale tail entries.
Older servers drop the key, so the server advertises a providerOrder environment capability and the panel shows the grips only when it is present.
Usage merges several environments while the order is stored per environment. Web uses the primary environment's order, then the first other environment that saved one; mobile uses the first environment with a saved order.
Ids that no longer exist are skipped and unlisted instances follow in built-in order, so deleting or adding a provider never needs a repair step.
Moves made before the previous write lands build on a pending local order, which clears once the server reports that order or the write fails.
Keyboard reordering is handled on the grip itself. The settings dialog's popup stops arrow keys from propagating (COMPOSITE_KEYS), so dnd-kit's document-level keyboard sensor never receives them.
Scope and approval
There is no prior Ideas discussion or maintainer approval for this. It is a feature, so I understand if it needs approval of direction and scope before review. The change is one underlying problem, a user-chosen provider order, carried through the contract, server capability, web, mobile, and the user guide.
Verification
Screenshots come from a fresh dev instance with an empty HOME, its own T3 home directory, and 30 days of synthetic Codex and Claude transcripts. No real accounts or usage appear.
Settings → Providers
Before: fixed order, no reorder affordance
After: a grip sits on the same line as each provider logo (grip and logo centers both at y=234.0, 317.0, 404.0 px in a 1400×950 viewport)
Usage: Claude costs more in the sample data, so the metric ranking puts it first. After moving Codex to the top in settings, Usage lists Codex first.
Before:
After:
Interaction checks in the dev web client (headless Chrome):
Mouse drag of Grok onto the first row moved it to the top and wrote providerOrder to the server settings file.
Focusing the Cursor grip and pressing ArrowUp three times, then ArrowDown once, moved it up three rows and down one. Focus stayed on the grip throughout.
Tests (vp run check:changed on 2f59fb6918, based on 965ddc1d6c): format, lint, knip, typecheck (41 packages), tests (16 files), and React compiler all pass. New or extended cases:
packages/shared/src/serverSettings.test.ts: the patch replaces providerOrder instead of merging by index
packages/shared/src/usageLimits.test.ts: limit pools follow the saved driver order
apps/web/src/providerInstances.test.ts: picker entries follow the saved order, including between instances of one driver
apps/mobile/src/lib/modelOptions.test.ts: mobile model options follow the saved order, and a new conversation starts with the first available provider even when that provider's default model is hidden (fails on 91f98748ae)
apps/web/src/components/settings/ProviderSettingsPanel.environment.browser.test.tsx: the grips stay hidden without the providerOrder capability, and two arrow presses before the first write lands move a provider two rows (fails without the pending order)
apps/server/src/environment/ServerEnvironment.test.ts: the server advertises the providerOrder capability
Not checked: Limits reordering in a running client. The sample instance has no logged-in accounts, so only the unit test covers it. I did not run the mobile app on a device or simulator; the mobile changes are covered by the typecheck and modelOptions tests only.
Merge risk: adds one server settings key, providerOrder, with an empty default, and one environment capability. No migration. Reverting the code leaves a harmless unused key in settings.json.
Written with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, driven from T3 Code.
Providers in Settings → Providers can be reordered by dragging the grip or
with the arrow keys on it. The order is saved in server settings
(`providerOrder`), so every device on the environment sees it. Usage, Limits
and the model picker on web and mobile follow it; without a saved order they
keep today's ordering.
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Saved provider ordering also feeds implicit new-conversation provider/model selection, so reordering can change more than presentation. Confirm whether that default-selection behavior is intended.

Arrow presses before the first write landed each started from the server
order, so two presses moved a provider one row. The panel now keeps the
pending order until the server reports it or the write fails.
Also documents that the first provider in the order is the fallback for new
conversations without a remembered model.
On the approvability note: the fallback is intended. When a new conversation has no remembered, project, or draft model, T3 Code starts with the first provider in the list, so with a saved order that is the provider the user put first. The PR description and docs/user/usage.md now say this explicitly.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The change adds server-saved provider ordering and controls to reorder providers. Web and mobile provider selectors and usage views apply the saved order, with fallback ordering when no order is saved.
Settings add providerOrder, and patches replace the array when they include it. Shared helpers sort entries, map instance IDs to drivers, and find the first settings object with a saved order. Environment descriptors expose provider-order support.

Mobile charts, provider lists, and limit pools use saved provider order when available. The documentation describes reordering and environment-specific behavior.

Explanation
The title "feat: reorder providers in settings and follow that order everywhere" matches the main change. The PR adds a user-defined provider order saved in server settings, with a Settings → Providers reorder control. The order applies to Usage, Limits, and the model picker on web and mobile. The title is specific and uses a conventional commit prefix.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template sections: Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification. The Problem and Change sections clearly explain the provider-order feature and its effects. Verification lists focused tests, screenshots, interaction checks, and items not checked. The Scope section states that the PR is a feature without prior approval. The template asks for a bug fix and a linked issue, so the Scope section does not meet the template requirement. The author acknowledges this and asks for direction approval. The Scope section also does not follow the template's requirement to link an issue or maintainer request. The agent attribution line at the end is present, which the template requests.

Older servers silently drop providerOrder, so a move looked saved and snapped
back later. The server now advertises a providerOrder capability and the
settings panel shows the grips only where it is present.
Also corrects the user guide: arrow keys alone move a provider, and mobile
follows the first environment with a saved order.
@coderabbitai On the nitpick about reorders that do not persist: addressed in 91f9874. The server now advertises a providerOrder environment capability, and Settings → Providers shows the reorder grips only when the environment reports it, so older servers that drop the key never offer a move that snaps back. Failed writes on supporting servers already show the existing "Setting not saved" toast and restore the server order.
@lukasbxy Thanks, I checked commit 91f98748ae. The capability gate hides the reorder grips on older servers. Failed writes clear the matching pending order; non-interrupted failures show the existing “Setting not saved” toast.
I did not run tests.

Mobile picked the first default model across all providers, so a hidden
default on the first provider jumped to a later provider. It now picks the
first available provider, then its default model, matching web.
Also covers the reorder capability gate and consecutive arrow-key moves in
the provider settings browser test.
Outside-diff finding in apps/mobile/src/lib/modelOptions.ts: resolveNewTaskModelSelection now picks the first available provider, then that provider's default model, and falls back to its first model. This matches web. A new case in modelOptions.test.ts failed before the change.
Nitpick on the capability gate: the provider settings browser test now checks that the grips stay hidden without providerOrder and appear with it, and that two arrow presses before the first write lands move a provider two rows. That case fails if the pending order is removed.
+1 for this. I specifically want drag to reorder providers. I mainly use Claude, and I want its usage limits first in Usage → Limits instead of scrolling past the fixed order every time. One saved order that every surface and client follows covers both of these discussions:
verified without code changes at 2f59fb6918d32544ea8192b338051795d51e350f on a disposable linux vm. compared with github/main at 3e29748f96 in a separate worktree. installed both with vp i and ran one background dev server at a time with isolated state. drove the web client with repository playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome.
main has fixed provider rows and no reorder grips. the pr supports mouse dragging and keyboard moves in settings → providers.
two rapid ArrowUp presses move the last provider to first; ArrowDown moves it back one row. keyboard focus stays on the grip.
the order survives browser reload, server restart, and a fresh browser context with no copied local storage. provider selection and disable/re-enable still work.
the model picker follows the saved order. a fresh draft uses the first provider; explicitly selecting codex gpt-6.1-sol completes a real turn through the local proxy. reordering again preserves the thread model, and a follow-up codex turn completes.
real codex history loads in usage cost and tokens. the provider filter follows the saved order; excluding codex removes its activity and restoring it brings the activity back.
inspected the provider panel at 1440×1000 in light mode and 900×800 in dark mode.
blacksmith ran the five existing focused files for provider order, server settings, usage limits, web provider entries, and mobile model options: 171 tests passed. the existing head's github ci checks pass.

rechecked the merged real web client with chrome: two rapid arrow moves, reverse move, mouse drag, and persisted order after reload. inspected 1440×1000 light and 900×800 dark. native shells and remote/multi-environment paths were not rerun.
final head checks: 32 successful, 0 pending, 0 failing; github reports CLEAN and MERGEABLE. no unresolved review threads. left the two callback-factory nits unchanged: the callbacks use the current render snapshot, compiler checks pass, and neither finding identifies an observable bug; refactoring them would expand this conflict-only fixup.
Keep dropProvider as the plain internal handler. Pass a useStableCallback adapter to SortableProviderList. Apply the same boundary convention to the new onStep callback. This keeps external callback identity stable without changing internal render-snapshot behavior.

Problem
Providers always appear in a fixed built-in order. Usage ranks them by the selected metric, Limits groups them in discovery order, and the model picker follows the server's snapshot order. A user with several subscriptions cannot put the ones they use most first, and the order differs between surfaces and devices.
Change
Settings → Providers lets you reorder the provider list: drag a row by its grip, or focus the grip and press the up or down arrow key. The order is saved in server settings, so every web, desktop, and mobile client on that environment shows the same order in:
providerInstanceEntriesForUntil a user reorders anything, every surface keeps today's order. When a new conversation has no remembered, project, or draft model, T3 Code falls back to the first provider in the list; with a saved order, that is the provider the user put first. This is intentional and documented in the user guide.
Notes on the design:
