Description

The ability to sort panels of channels + streams would be great, especially the "Streams" tab, being able to sort by "Most Recent".

This would be most useful if one has missed a stream-live alert or wants to reference a stream(s) that recently went live, enabling one to click the "Streams" tab and, rather than the tab being sorted by viewer-count, the user could switch to a "Most-recent(ly live)" sort, providing quick and easy access to the most recent live-streams.

Currently, the "Streams" tab being sorted by viewer-count makes it difficult to find a particular stream you're looking for, since you won't have knowledge of its current viewer-count, thus having to hunt around a grid of streams in essentially "random" order. Even big channels which would typically be at the top of the list with big viewer counts, when newly live, they'll have lower viewer counts, getting lost in the mix of streams.

Even just the ability to sort the list alphabetically would be useful for being able to quickly find a particular channel amongst the list of channels that are currently live.

Sorting is not supported by the Twitch API, and client-side sorting is impossible.
