[BUG]: API endpoint for workspace chats and thread chats are inconsistent and reversed

[mayzyo]

How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

When fetching chat history from api/v1/workspace/slug/chats (so the "default" thread) the array is reversed. Additionally, the order of "assistant" and "user" is reversed on top of the whole array being reversed.

Example api/v1/workspace/slug/chats:
The history displayed in the web UI start with me asking "quick test" and assistant replying "How can I assist you?" which is correct.

[
    {
        "attachments": [],
        "chatId": 417,
        "content": "Give me a brief intr",
        "role": "user",
        "sentAt": 1735077496
    },
    {
        "chatId": 417,
        "content": " I am a text-based A",
        "feedbackScore": null,
        "metrics": {
            "completion_tokens": 163,
            "duration": 18.376,
            "outputTps": 8.870265563778842,
            "prompt_tokens": 5,
            "total_tokens": 168
        },
        "role": "assistant",
        "sentAt": 1735077496,
        "sources": [],
        "type": "chat"
    },
    {
        "attachments": [],
        "chatId": 372,
        "content": "How much water shoul",
        "role": "user",
        "sentAt": 1734609844
    },
    {
        "chatId": 372,
        "content": "The general recommen",
        "feedbackScore": null,
        "metrics": {},
        "role": "assistant",
        "sentAt": 1734609844,
        "sources": [],
        "type": "chat"
    },
    {
        "attachments": [],
        "chatId": 362,
        "content": "quick test",
        "role": "user",
        "sentAt": 1734470476
    },
    {
        "chatId": 362,
        "content": " How can I assist yo",
        "feedbackScore": null,
        "metrics": {},
        "role": "assistant",
        "sentAt": 1734470476,
        "sources": [],
        "type": "chat"
    }
]

Example api/v1/workspace/slug/threads/tslug/chats:
I believe this is endpoint is the correct one.

[
    {
        "attachments": [],
        "chatId": 341,
        "content": "Hi there!",
        "role": "user",
        "sentAt": 1733646403
    },
    {
        "chatId": 341,
        "content": " Hello! How can I as",
        "feedbackScore": null,
        "metrics": {},
        "role": "assistant",
        "sentAt": 1733646403,
        "sources": [],
        "type": "chat"
    },
    {
        "attachments": [],
        "chatId": 342,
        "content": "What do you know abo",
        "role": "user",
        "sentAt": 1733649565
    },
    {
        "chatId": 342,
        "content": " \"Gundam SEED\" is an",
        "feedbackScore": null,
        "metrics": {},
        "role": "assistant",
        "sentAt": 1733649565,
        "sources": [],
        "type": "chat"
    },
    {
        "attachments": [],
        "chatId": 346,
        "content": "Compare seed destiny",
        "role": "user",
        "sentAt": 1733702408
    },
    {
        "chatId": 346,
        "content": "When comparing \"Gund",
        "feedbackScore": null,
        "metrics": {},
        "role": "assistant",
        "sentAt": 1733702408,
        "sources": [],
        "type": "chat"
    }
]

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

Additionally, it seems like the default thread endpoint is returning history that was already deleted and no longer visible in the web UI. I only noticed this while I was filing this bug report.
