Reverse order of file types introduced when creating new notebook

Once we add Python, the majority use case will be .ipynb. As a user, when navigating through the steps through the quick pick, I will likely press enter as fast as possible to get me to a new notebook. In order to help facilitate and get people in the most likely scenario I think it makes sense to reverse the order of the file types displayed. (.ipynb first, .dib second)

This seems related to #2024, which suggests a different approach to smoothing this workflow.

Is it clear that doing both would be useful? Going out of alphabetical order would be nonstandard (especially as we add more file types), and might not yield any benefit once #2024 is implemented.

I agree it's related, however we know settings are hard to discover. I think we should do what we can to socialize the settings but IMO adding this would still help the overall user experience out of the gate.

Is there a most-recently used experience available for this quick pick?

Had a quick chat with Peng and the quick pick is stateless but recommended that we can detect the last selected and change the display order if we want to go down that more dynamic solution

That often makes sense when different users are doing different things.
