Suggestion: To further help lowering SHA-1 importance could you please move displayed order for available CRC SHA hash calculation from SHA-1, SHA-256 to SHA-256, SHA-1 ? #25

Given that since (quite enough) many years already (source: Wikipedia) SHA-1 hash algorithm is practically being discontinued more and more, even if still quite widely used, my suggestion for next v24.05 or successive v24.06 beta is also to start lowering its importance by also changing displayed order for available CRC SHA hash calculation in 7-Zip shell integration context menu from SHA-1, SHA-256 to SHA-256, SHA-1 (as well as in 7-Zip own internal File -> CRC menu).
So here's a quick visual example of how actual CRC SHA menu appears displayed in Explorer after 7-Zip shell context menu integration (just like also displayed by 7-Zip internal File -> CRC menu) and how it would become after implementing my suggestion :

          CRC32                     CRC32
          CRC64                     CRC64
CRC SHA - SHA-1           CRC SHA - SHA-256
          SHA-256                   SHA-1
          ...                       ...

P.S. I've also already noticed and appreciated ( 👍 ) the fact that when choosing '*' in CRC menus (after 7-Zip Explorer shell integration and even in its internal one) SHA-256 calculation is already made and listed before SHA-1 one.
