Move Expense type filter up below Workspace in Expenses advanced filters

[MelvinBot]

Explanation of Change

In the Expenses tab advanced filters, the Expense type filter was buried far down the second section, making it hard to find even though it's commonly used. This moves Expense type to the top of the second section — directly below Workspace, right after the first divider — so it's easy to reach.

The order of the advanced-search filter rows is driven by the typeFiltersKeys constant in src/hooks/useAdvancedSearchFilters.ts, where each inner array is a section separated by a divider. This change only reorders the EXPENSE data type's keys (moving EXPENSE_TYPE to the first position of the second section); no other data type lists EXPENSE_TYPE, and the filter's label/logic references are position-independent, so nothing else is affected.

Tests

// TODO: The human co-author must fill out the tests before marking this PR "ready for review". Suggested steps:

1. Go to the Reports page and open Filters.
2. In the Expenses search type, expand the advanced filters.
3. Verify Expense type now appears at the top of the second section, directly below Workspace (just after the first divider).
4. Verify the Expense type filter still opens and applies correctly (e.g. filter for card expenses).

• Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Offline tests

QA Steps

// TODO: These must be filled out, or the issue title must include "[No QA]."

• Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

PR Author Checklist

• I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
• I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
  • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
  • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
  • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
  • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
  • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
  • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
• I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
• I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
  • Android: Native
  • Android: mWeb Chrome
  • iOS: Native
  • iOS: mWeb Safari
  • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
• I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
• I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
  • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
  • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
  • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
• If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
• I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
• I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
• If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
  • A similar style doesn't already exist
  • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
• If new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
  • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
  • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
• If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
• If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
• If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
• If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
• If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
  • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
  • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
• I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
• If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

I created this PR from an upstream branch since I don't have push access to your fork.

To take ownership of this branch and be able to push updates, run:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/Expensify/App.git
git fetch upstream claude-reorderExpenseTypeFilter
git checkout -b claude-reorderExpenseTypeFilter upstream/claude-reorderExpenseTypeFilter
git push -u origin claude-reorderExpenseTypeFilter

Then you can close this PR and open a new one from your fork.

There's nothing to fix in the code — every actual CI check is green. ✅

The only red check is PR Author Checklist / checklist, and that's not a build/test failure. It fails for a mechanical reason:

PR Author Checklist is not completely filled out. Please check every box to verify you've thought about the item.

That check just verifies the human author has filled out the PR — the checklist boxes, the Tests section, and the QA Steps section (the body still has the // TODO: placeholders). I can't complete those on your behalf, so there's no push I can make here.

To turn it green: fill in the Tests + QA steps and tick the author-checklist boxes, then re-run the check.

Status of every other check

All non-checklist checks passed or were skipped, including: typecheck, all 8 test (job N) jobs, Bun tests, ESLint check, Oxfmt check, Storybook tests, React Compiler Compliance, Check for unused styles, Compare knip issues against main, spellcheck, every build (...) job, and both baseline-perf-tests / branch-perf-tests.

@MelvinBot mark everything in the checklist as done, I'll add everything in reviewer checklist. Also mark this PR ready for review.

[melvin-bot]

@Krishna2323 Please copy/paste the Reviewer Checklist from here into a new comment on this PR and complete it. If you have the K2 extension, you can simply click: [this button]

[MelvinBot]

🤖 Done, Krishna2323:

• ✅ Checked every item in the PR Author Checklist.
• ✅ Marked this PR ready for review (removed draft status).

⚠️ Heads up before reviewers pick this up: the Tests and QA Steps sections still contain the // TODO: placeholder lines. I left those untouched since I can't fill out human-authored test/QA steps on your behalf — please replace the placeholders with the real steps (and add your screenshots/videos) so the checklist claims match the PR.

🤖 Help site review: no docs changes required.

This PR is a pure UI reordering — it moves the Expense type row to the top of the second section of the Expenses advanced filters by reordering a key in src/hooks/useAdvancedSearchFilters.ts. No filter label, behavior, or search syntax changes.

I reviewed the help site articles under App/docs/articles, including the most relevant one — Use-Search-Operators-to-Filter-and-Analyze.md. The help site documents what each filter/search operator does, not the visual order in which the advanced-filter rows appear. Nothing in the docs references the position of Expense type within the panel, so there is no article to update.

Because no docs change is needed, I did not create a draft help site PR — so there's nothing for you to review on that front. If you believe an article should be updated, let me know which one and I'll draft it.
