Currently, widgets just follow the sort from the views. So if you want a custom sort, you can always try to use a collection instead of a set if possible.
Also, just implementing custom sort for sets as well would solve this issue, at least temporary.
Except collections are not automatic and new objects are not added automatically. It’s some kind of work-around at the moment but it’s very hacky and does not replace the need for this feature
I recommend introducing a function that would allow users to rearrange the order of objects within the widgets in the sidebar/navigation menu.
HOW COULD IT BE DONE
One way this could potentially be implemented is through a drag and drop interface within each widget. Users could click and hold on an object, then drag it to their desired position in the list. Alternatively, (which I don’t prefer) up and down arrows next to each object could allow users to move them higher or lower in the widget list.
REAL WORLD USE CASES
There are some objects (pages, notes, sets, etc.) that I use more frequently and I would prefer to have them at the top of my widget category. For example, in my AnyType, I use “All Characters” more often than “Picrews Collection,” so it would be much more convenient for me to have “All Characters” at the top and then arrange the rest based on most used to least used. Here is an image that illustrates my current situation:
