Feature Idea: Manual sorting board views

[Johennes]

Summary:

Currently the views in a board are sorted alphabetically in the left pane. It would be nice if the views could be sorted manually through drag and drop. Particularly when using emoji as the first character in view names, the alphabetical sorting tends to produce non-intuitive results.

How important this is to me and why:

Importance: Low

Low importance because I'm not using terribly many views (yet) so it's a minor inconvenience only.

Use cases:

1. I'm using emojis as the first character in view names which breaks intuitive alphabetical sorting
2. I want certain views to appear at the top / bottom of the list because I use them more / less frequently

Thanks @Johennes! Yes, we do intend to support manual ordering of the sidebar, perhaps with additional organization. If anyone has things they would like to see, or examples of good implementations of this, please add links. Much appreciated!

An easy fix for my particular issue could also be to strip leading emoji from the view names before applying the alphabetical sorting.

That might be a good short-term fix @Johennes. If someone wants to do that first, setting this ticket as up for grabs!

I am someone so I gave this a try in #341. 😅
