The Return of the General Channel
Last year, Microsoft removed the need to have a General channel in a team. Now the General channel is making a comeback, and you can choose to have one in a team. If you choose to have a General channel, it appears at the top of the channel list. If not, Teams sorts the channel list alphabetically. In other news, code snippets are being replaced by code blocks and the end of classic Teams is nigh.

That's a good news. We used to use this a lot in our small organisation.
We have a team that existed for a long time and has always had a General channel. The list of channels now appears alphabetically sorted with General channel NOT at the top :( This is breaking years of muscle memory
