     <CHANGES>
 
+###2026.04.06.16
+- Fix: Docker runtime rows, folder state, and container interactions.
+- Fix: Server endpoints, runtime payloads, and persistence or validation paths.
+
+
+###2026.04.06.15
+- Fix: Docker created-order sorting now restores folder creation order after switching back from A-Z or other explicit sort modes.
+- Fix: Docker host order sync now rebuilds folder placeholders from saved FolderView Plus order instead of preserving stale placeholder positions.
+
+
 ###2026.04.06.14
 - Fix: Docker runtime rows, folder state, and container interactions.
 - UX: Folder editor flows, previews, and bootstrap behavior.
