Reason for Zendesk's Sorting Method Change
Why is Zendesk changing the sorting method for instance values?
Zendesk is changing the sorting method for instance values to improve the alignment of associate and unassociate events. By sorting based on the 'updated_at' timestamp, the system ensures that associate events advance to align with unassociate events, providing a more accurate and timely representation of data. This change is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the functionality and reliability of the Skill-based Routing API. For more details, check out theoriginal article.
