Post History

Any default order we implement -- including the current one, which is order of creation -- will be suboptimal sometimes.  Sorting by activity or reputation also means the order might change from day to day, which those with stronger "muscle memory" will hate.  I agree we should reconsider what the *default, static order* should be, but I think we also need to make this customizable.

I'd like to see some way (TBD) to specify an order, and have that order be followed in all of the following places:

- the community switcher (dropdown list)
- the dashboard
- the "all communities" list when I am viewing my own profile

This way, I can put the communities I care most about -- regardless of how much reputation I've accumulated there or how many posts I've made -- at the top.

The list at https://codidact.com used to follow the same order as the switcher, but that page is a separate "front door" for our network, a static page to attract people to our communities, so we reordered it to put our most active communities first (aside from Meta, which, along with Proposals, we put at the end).  That page is not tied into the software that runs the network, so we can't personalize it.
