Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

When adding multiple project folders to a workspace they are added to the bottom of the list, but on workspace restart they are automatically organised alphabetically.

This is illogical to me and I'd like to see the order of projects in the workspace preserved, especially since I'd also like to be able to manually reorder them, like in other IDEs.

Environment

Zed: v0.132.2 (Zed Preview) OS: macOS 14.4.1 Memory: 64 GiB Architecture: x86_64

Hi there, I’m encountering this issue on 0.149.6. The behaviour is inconsistent and I get a different order each time I start Zed. How can I help reproduce this issue?

Edit: It appears I only get two different orderings after each restart: one time my custom ordering, then what appears to be alphabetical, then mine again, etc.

So I've tested this over and over to be as sure as I can, but it looks like workspaces from before the more recent fixes have this issue. I recreated a workspace I saw this issue with and the issue is gone now. Not an ideal fix but it seems fine with new workspaces.

Ok, I did recreate my workspace (on 0.151.2). The issue is still present. By the way, just closing the window and opening a new window is sufficient to reproduce the A/B sorting.

Also, manually sorted directories seem to keep their relative ordering (but not in the right place).
