maybe there's some way to calculate how bright a particular mode is, then sorting them by brightness? so like with the major scale as input, you'd get lydian, major, then mixolydian, rather than major, dorian, phrygian

Use the computed bright percentage and implement a tie-breaker for sorting equally-bright-but-distinct modes.
