New workspaces prepend to the top of their project's lane (getPrependTabOrder), but newly added projects appended to the bottom of the sidebar's project list (getNextTabOrder). One-line swap to the existing prepend helper so a just-added project lands at the top — it's the one you're about to work in, and it matches workspace placement semantics.

Applies to every path that first places a project in the sidebar (add repository, folder import, project setup finalize).

Note: best paired with #5999 — without it, the live query's stale incremental ordering can render a newly prepended project at the bottom until reload, which is exactly the confusion that surfaced this.

Folding into #5999 — the prepend behavior depends on that PR's ordering fix to render correctly, so they ship together.
