State in redux changes but it's not updating in the component - reactjs

Question

My redux store updates perfectly
after sorting
before sorting
But the props in my component don't update even when the store has updated and so the child components still show the old values. I'm sorting my channels according to the timestamp. The sorting function updates the redux store but it still renders the non-sorted data.
the output it should be sorted but it remains the same(unsorted)
This is my component code
export const RoomItem = (props) => {
const [roomLiveStatus, setRoomLiveStatus] = useState(false);
const compareTimestamp = (t1 = 0, t2 = 0) => {
return (t1.lastMessage && t2.lastMessage) && t2.lastMessage.timestamp - t1.lastMessage.timestamp
}
const getRoomData = () => {
const { roomData, workspace } = props;
const { workspaceId } = workspace
const workspaceIdLowerCase = workspaceId.toLowerCase()
const { roomId } = roomData;
const roomIdLowerCase = roomId.toLowerCase()
firebase
.firestore()
.collection(`sessions/${workspaceIdLowerCase}/rooms`)
.doc(`${roomIdLowerCase}`)
.onSnapshot(doc => {
if (doc.exists) {
// console.log("LIVE Sessions doc: ", doc.data())
const { currentSession } = doc.data()
if (currentSession !== "") {
setRoomLiveStatus(true)
} else {
setRoomLiveStatus(false)
}
}
})
}
useEffect(() => {
getRoomData();
},[])
useEffect(() => {
// do something
getRoomData();
// console.log(props,"props of roomitem")
},[props.sortType])
const strip = (value) => {
const { user, content } = value
let name = user.name;
let firstName = name.trim().split(" ")[0]
if (value.type === 0) {
if ( (firstName.length + content.length) > 32 ) {
let completeContent = `${firstName}: ${content}`
return `${completeContent.slice(0, 32)}...`
} else {
return `${firstName}: ${content}`
}
} else if (value.type === 1) {
return <span>{firstName}: <FontAwesomeIcon icon={faCalendarAlt} className="text-theme" /> Schedule</span>

Edit: I fixed it by using lodash cloneDeep. If anyone is stuck in a similar situation refer to this react-redux update item in array doesn't re-render
