Reactions do not always show in the same order, and don't always show reliably (we use zira for roles and half the tickets are people that don't read where it says to refresh the page if the reactions don't show.)

This would be a pretty extensive rework, and I'm not sure it adds sufficient utility to justify it. v / r Robert Klebes Mobile: 571-492-8639 https://keybase.io/sporkwitch https://www.linkedin.com/in/klebes

Reactions do not always show in the same order

We can use await or make a then chain to have the reactions added in the correct order (if one of them fails, maybe stop adding the rest), but i don't think this would be worth adding.

Even if you do, simply refreshing the screen can reorder them. It's not possible to enforce an order v / r Robert Klebes Mobile: 571-492-8639 https://keybase.io/sporkwitch https://www.linkedin.com/in/klebes

IMHO.

• The order of reactions isn't a problem unlike the order of reaction-buttons in some music bots.

• In my practice reordering & vanishing appears only on 13-15k same reactions.

• Control bar doesn't require massive rework, just add some events emitters, properties & methods to plugin context.

Example:

module.exports = function(bot, knex, config, client) {
  const trackedControlBars = new Map();
  rehydrateControlBars(client.threads); // if bot has been restarted
  bot.on('messageReactionAdd', e => {
     const thread = trackedControlBars.get(e.message.id)
     e.emoji.name === '❌' ? thread.close() : otherStuff(e);
  })
  client.on('new_thread', createControlBar)
  client.on('close_thread', destroyControlBar)
}

Great idea. This would be helpful for me. Please add it.

Button Interactions already here. It's a nice alternative for frequently used commands.
