[Feature Request] Add weight using docker labels

[Emporea]

Description

It would be really nice to be able to sort multiple docker instances by giving them weight as a label.

To use this example from the docs:

services:
  emby:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/emby:latest
    container_name: emby
    ports:
      - 8096:8096
    restart: unless-stopped
    labels:
      - homepage.group=Media
      - homepage.name=Emby
      - homepage.icon=emby.png

A simple homepage.weight=1 or homepage.widget.weight=1 would be really nice to have.

I currently pass - homepage.weight=# in the labels portion for my services, and they are sorted accordingly. It comes in really handy when you sort independently by group.

This feature was added in v0.6.4.

Try adding a - homepage.weight=1 to your labels and it should work.

Just adding the docker label homepage.weight=1 doesnt seem to work for me.

Do I also nees to create a service.yaml and set a weight again? Thats weird or what am i missing.

[joncrangle]

There is no need to create a service.yaml file. The weights in the labels section of the docker-compose file are honored.

In the following example, the widgets would be sorted as service2 and then service1:

service1:
    container_name: service1
    image: dockerimage
    labels:
      - homepage.group=Group1
      - homepage.name=Service1
      - homepage.icon=icon.png
      - homepage.href=url
      - homepage.description=Description 1
      - homepage.weight=1
      - homepage.widget.type=type
      - homepage.widget.url=url
      - homepage.widget.key=key

service2:
    container_name: service2
    image: dockerimage
    labels:
      - homepage.group=Group1
      - homepage.name=Service2
      - homepage.icon=icon.png
      - homepage.href=url
      - homepage.description=Description 2
      - homepage.weight=0
      - homepage.widget.type=type
      - homepage.widget.url=url
      - homepage.widget.key=key

but i created this issue because exactly doing this has no effect to me. or what am i doing wrong. What are the possible values for weight? I can also do 0.01 and 0.3 or something right?
