Order of new rooms in Spaces is inconsistent

[nadonomy]

Your use case

1. Create a Space
2. Create new rooms during space creation: General, Random, Support
3. Observe post creation the order of the list changes to Support, General, Random

We should ensure the rooms are in a predictable order. Should we default to alphabetical sorting when creating new spaces?

Have you considered any alternatives?

I don't think we can do much here without changing how the room-list behaves - this is because you have it ordered by activity. It would be slightly different when ordered A-Z

We should ensure the rooms are in a predictable order.

For activity sorting this would mean creating the rooms one-by-one in reverse order which would make this operation take 3x as long.

Should we default to alphabetical sorting when creating new spaces?

Alphabetic/Activity is not a per-space thing.

I would like this for Fedora as well. Having an intentionally-ordered list is important for not overwhelming new users.

Manual ordering of the room list is very important
