New Bitbucket UI 'Recent' list breaks workflow for teams with lots of repos

The new navigation prioritizes 'Browser History' over 'Git Activity,' creating a significant productivity blocker for large workspaces.  In an environment with hundreds of repositories, the 'Recent' list is functionally useless if it doesn't reflegt the most recent 'updated_on' timestamp from Git pushes.  Relying on an algorithmic/history-based sidebar instead of a global, chronological repository list increases cognitive load and forces manual searching for every task.  Please restore the option to set a 'Global Workspace Repositories (Sorted by Activity)' view as the default homepage.

Hey @Jon Baker 

Welcome to the community.

If you’re looking for the “last updated” information for repositories, you can sort directly on the repositories list page:

https://bitbucket.org/<workspace_name>/workspace/repositories/

The list in the sidebar only shows your recently worked-on/opened repositories, not all repository sorted by last update.

Hope that clarifies it.

Regards,
Syahrul
