Default A-Z sort for component list

[endervad]

Describe the problem

Currently if you go into any component list, it will be sorted seemingly randomly. Usually though you'd probably want it to be sorted alphabetically.

Describe the solution you'd like

Component list should be sorted by component name by default.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Theoretically this could also be a separate setting in /accounts/profile/#preferences, something like: Component list - Default sorting order: (Component Name, Translated, Untranslated, Suggestions, etc.)

It should be a sortable list, same as listing projects or components.

Thanks, don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear. All of the logic (listing, sorting) is already present, it just needs to be applied on this view.

Hey Nijel, I was wondering if you could give me a lil clarification. So, based on my understanding, the rows listed in the components tab in this website must be sorted alphabetically as opposed to the random sort that in place now. Am I right?

Component lists are not used on Hosted Weblate. You can see it in action here: https://translate.fedoraproject.org/component-list/fedora-34-release/

@nijel Is this worth contributing too if it is not an issue on hosted Weblate? Should this be closed?

[AkshatGoel-321]

@John-Poulos Other installations are using this feature, so it's definitely worth implementing.

@AkshatGoel-321 Thanks for your interesting, the issue is now assigned to you.
