This PR proposes systematic connector sorting (employs
display-orderproperty as before) based on statuses. I devised it so that the connectors are sorted primarily by their functionality status and secondarily by their development status:Example results:
This change is to be reviewed by the team before merge. If so desired, we can devise a different algorithm (e.g., prioritize development and support status?), it is easy to automatically resort the connector pages.
I realize that to a user viewing the list in the Docs, the sorting method would not be obvious, but it still prioritizes those actively developed usable connectors and I don't think the manual "organic" sorting we have there now gives the system away any better than this. This new system is at least, in my opinion, easier to explain to anyone contributing to the section.
Why not restructure the section to clearly divided subcategories (directories)? While nicely usable, I think it would be impractical because any time a connector would move from one category to another, it would mean changing its URL and setting up a redirect. The system I propose in this PR is easy to enforce automatically (by
sedandgrep), as well as easy to redesign (as in change primary and secondary sorting parameters).
