- Topics can be ordered within a category if you edit them to add sequence numbers. In the absence of explicit sequencing, they appear to be alphabetical by title.
- For the "default" (baked-in) topics, we should seed these with sequence numbers so they come out in a logical order. When we do this, leave gaps between those numbers to make it easier for communities to insert new entries. We should then apply this sequencing to every community that hasn't locally modified this already.
- The benefits would be a more logical ordering for new instances and consistency across communities on our network. Nobody should have to hand-edit sequence info into every topic on every community on our network.
- **Ordering within category**
