Disable sorting of frequently used emojis on click

[vrizo]

Hi, @EtienneLem !

Thanks for Emoji Mart — an excellent project which we use on our project!

We faced a problem reported by our users. Sorting of frequently used emojis is annoying because it fires when the user clicks on the emoji.

What do you think about disabling sorting on the fly in favor of sorting after component mounting?

I found the same issue here, but the author decided to close it: #265. I don't think that it is a bug, but I think it might be improved.

Thank you!

Hey, @EtienneLem @nolanlawson !

Do you have any thoughts on this?

I noticed that there is the same behavior on macOS in the native mini picker. But it works in full-size native picker in another way. 1:1. Attaching a GIF.

Thank you!

We can give a property to enable/disable this functionality.
Let me know what suits best.
I've fixed this In my current project, will be happy to submit a PR

I feel like this should be the default and be re-sorted only when mounting

[nolanlawson]

I agree, having the icons move out from under your mouse is confusing, even if the native macOS emoji picker also does this.

Hi all! I have been working on a solution for this and I'm wondering if you guys would be open to reviewing a PR for this issue. This will be my first PR for an open source project so it won't be perfect but it will at least be on the road to a solution for this enhancement!

[EtienneLem]

@SaraRandolph Absolutely! You will notice that we’ve been pretty slow on reviewing/implementing lately. I will have some time to allocate on this very soon ✌️

[SaraRandolph]

@EtienneLem sounds good! no rush! I'll make the pr this afternoon. thank you!

Fixed with #417
