Description

Creating this from the discussion in a (now merged) PR:

Out of curiosity, why the "new entries should be added to the end"? (eg unsorted) Kind of thinking alphabetical or (any) sorting would be better for looking things up. smile

Yeah, some resources are not sorted, only articles and videos for example, are sorted by year from the most recent to the oldest. Adding them to the end of the list allows users to immediately identify the new ones that have been added since they last viewed the page. However, alphabetical sorting makes them better organised... What do you think about it?

Good point. Hadn't thought of items that are better sorted via date, but yep they do exist. The current "Articles" and "Video" sections seem a bit inconsistent at the moment, as the older entries are in the middle with the newest one (2018) at the top, with the some 2017 ones at the bottom. We should definitely pick a sort order for those and get that done.

For stuff that doesn't benefit from date ordering (eg GitHub repos?), then alphabetical likely makes sense. Things are already broken into topic groups, which ensures related stuff is already near other related stuff.

I can help with putting stuff into whatever order(s) are decided on if that helps. eg series of PR's or whatever. 😄
