EntityType sort order for Query Editor


Who would benefit?

The users of the Web Portal.

What impact would it make?

It is a quality of life feature. It would make for a better Query Editor experience.

How should it work?

When creating an EntityType in the ControlCenter, one should be able to add an index to the EntityType. That index should decide the sort order of the EntityTypes in the Query Editor.

The indexing could also be set in the ControlCenter Settings, where we could specify the order of the EntityTypes. If no order is provided, then default alphabetical sort order is used like now.


Why is it needed?

In most cases, customers may be working on a Product level. Given that the EntityTypes are alphabetically sorted, it almost ensures that for every query you create you have to scroll/filter.

It would make for a much better user experience, if you could configure the sort order, such that you can have the most used EntityType in the top.

    I think this one is very similar to one that I wrote a while back, but this is more related to the Query Editor while mine is more about sort order with the results. I think both have merit and should be combined. That sort order is respected in both Query Editor and in the search result.
