Description

Description:
When adding members to a team, the dialog currently shows 5 users I’ve shared something with in the past. However, this list does not reflect the most recent users — it appears to only include the first 5 users I ever shared with.

Expected behavior:
The list of suggested users should display the most recent users I’ve interacted or shared with, rather than the earliest ones.

Why it matters:
This change would make the “Add Members” flow more intuitive and time-saving, as users are more likely to re-share with recent collaborators than with older ones.

Suggested improvement:
• Sort the suggested users by the timestamp of the last shared action (most recent first).
• Optionally, increase the limit from 5 to a slightly higher number (e.g. 10) to make suggestions more useful.

Research direction

Start by locating the Add Members dialog and the code that supplies its five suggested users. Trace how shared-action timestamps are selected or ordered, then verify that the displayed suggestions prioritize recent collaborators and confirm whether the limit remains five or is increased.
