Get emojis sorted #52

What feature are you proposing?

I was trying to implement a basic emoji picker using this library. However it does not seem to be possible to get the emojis in an order which is useful for emoji pickers. Could you provide an api that allows accessing emojis in order?

Do you have any additional material for your feature proposal?

No response

While this is something that can be easily done on the users side because I already expose the emoji list (EmojiManager.getAllEmojis), I think it is still a good QOL feature if we can gather a couple of different orders. Do you have any particular orders in mind?

I think the order how they are listed here for example could be helpful: https://emojipedia.org/smileys Ideally, there should be a way to get the emojis in an order that is similar to most emoji pickers on smartphones. For reference, when I access emojis via EmojiManager.getAllEmojis, it looks like this, since they are stored in an unordered set: image

Code:

```kotlin @Preview @Composable fun EmojiDemo() { LazyVerticalGrid(columns = GridCells.Fixed(8)) { items(EmojiManager.getAllEmojis().toList()) { Text(it.emoji) } } } ```

What you are looking for is not exactly an ordered list of emojis but much more emojis mapped to their group / subgroup. Regardless of that, I still think that this might be a good enhancement.
