Since this is a manual task the weights need to be fixed for a an alphabetical sorting manually again.

The bridges are manually sorted on purpose. Not all third-party platforms will have the same interest for visitors, and the weight was added to put the more prominent platforms first.

Right now the algorithm to give a weight to a bridge is my own familiarity with a platform, which is bad. Happy to discuss about alternatives to get a better algorithm though!

I feel like the easiest is just to go alphabetically tbh. Thats the most unbiased way of sorting without providing a sort button.

The goal here is to provide the best user experience. I believe putting the most relevant bridges first delivers the best value for people browsing the page. I don't think the foundation needs to be unbiased here, since those are third party platforms and not Matrix projects

I feel like I can never find the bridge/network I'm looking for as it's sorted in an "unpredictable" way.
