Change sorting of new additions to the list

[FerruccioSisti]

In my opinion, sorting by recent addition is a better way to approach adding new postings to this list. I would argue that majority of people who are interested in applying to internships this early are ready to start now and will be referring to this repo every so often to make sure they are as up to date as they can be with applications. It would make it easier to just scroll to the bottom of the list to see new postings that are added rather than scanning through the list or looking at new commits to find them.

I agree. Anyone want to sort it?

[Zmwang622]

@FerruccioSisti Hey! We really appreciate the feedback but wanted to see what everyone else thought. Fill out this poll on whether we should make the postings alphabetical or sorted by dates!

[MattChen2000]

Agreed. Personally, It would also make more sense to me to add a column recording when this job is posted/added to our list

[Zmwang622]

Yeah sounds good with me. My only concern with adding a date column would be the extra overhead of enforcing a consistent date format.

[Zmwang622]

If someone wants to make a PR with the changes, that would be sooo clutch. I'm busy this week and can't get to it this weekend.

In the PR I just put all the old posting dates as "Before July 8th". I think that is probably sufficient for people who are just wanting to know if there are new postings they haven't applied to.

To maintain simplicity of the initial markdown table, but also have the ability to sort new additions and such, what do you think of having a Google Sheet? Every new addition to the README would sync with the google sheet, and the google sheet could contain additional columns and have the ability to sort by newly updated

[Zmwang622]

Will probably mean having to add dates/other info on our end, but sgtm

We reordered the list to be by posting. date. This Google Sheet is synced with the repo, and every update to README.md will automatically update this sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bJq7YQV19TWyzPCBeQi5P4uOm8uiAAm2AHCnVNGRIDg/edit#gid=0

We also made a application tracker that also remains in sync with everything, so that its easy for you to keep track of everything in one spot: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/126GcV-xVw7pZ3FIZnP2M_plDbcLwfS7HTs9ZqJHaReg/edit#gid=0

Good luck with your internship search!
