We currently split all your tracked series into "action required" ones at the
top and "action not required" ones at the bottom, which is why all your
snoozed and waiting series are below everything else. Within these two
sections, the series are sorted by when they were last added to your tracking,
not by most recent activity. I used to sort them by latest activity but I
hated that they jump around -- if you have 5 series that you're working on
throughout the day, you benefit from visual memory if they all sit in one
spot.

I was expecting that "thanked" series would be prime candidates for archiving,
which is why they are kept in "action required". However, it's an easy change
to add them into "no action required".

We can instead differentiate this into:

active:

- new
- reviewing

action required:

- replied
- accepted
- thanked

inactive:

- snoozed
- waiting

Does that work, and how would you sort these?
