Agents can sort their live chats in one of the following ways:
- New Customer Activity: Sorts live chats based on new activity from a customer. I.e., any new message/activity from a customer moves the chat to the top of the list (note: new activities by an agent are not considered for sorting).
- New Chats: Sorts live chats based on the time when a chat arrived in Chat Desk. I.e., new chats appear at the top and the oldest chat at the bottom.
