Feature request: "Sort by" option for the list of containers

[LiamillionSS]

The current behaviour of the left menu list is to display the distrobox containers in order of creation then alphabetical on next open, something that I would like to be able to do is reorder them on demand. The list of sorting methods I feel that are appropriate for this application are:

• Alphabetical
• Most recently opened
• Creation time

as well as a toggle for the reverse.

It makes sense to have a way to sort the containers by different criteria, I will consider adding it. Though I would prefer not to add drag and drop to customize the order: it's a bit more complex and requires saving more state.

How many distrobox containers do you have?
Would adding support for custom ordering with drag and drop significantly improve your workflow?

Usually 5, no more than 8. So no it wouldn't make that much of difference not having drag and drop, I don't mind it being closed if it adds disproportionate complexity.

Static filters would probably cover 95% of it, like "show open containers at the top" and "group by container type (image name alphabetical?)", would that be worth considering?

Thanks
