Sort properties by priority

[thansidwell]

Right now properties aren't sorted in any particular way. https://share.cleanshot.com/DTFJqbJc

Sort the properties by priority, displaying the highest priority properties at the top of the list. Use the underlying numeric priority value to sort.

This is a really good idea, I just came to file the same issue. the sort should be predictable to users. Recommend sorting by the numeric priority value so that the "best" values in the list come first. Ensure this is done before capping the results at 100.

@willonabike Good idea. I'll didn't realize there's an underlying numeric priority value. I'll add that to the instructions above.

@willonabike — I think there may be a misunderstanding — after evaluating the features array, the only priority is the field properties.priority_level which is of strings "High" | "Medium" | "Low". Please inform if theres another way to retrieve a more concrete numerical priority value, or to even derive a general priority based on the available fields?

example feature object:

    "type": "Feature",
    "state": {},
    "geometry": {
        "type": "Polygon",

@paulhchoi that's correct, FYI @thansidwell

so maybe sort by priority than just by OPA_ID or something to keep it consistent
