Change the order of the search providers according to the order of apps in the navigation bar

Please, change the order how the search results are shown according to the /ocs/v2.php/search/providers in accordance of the order of apps shown on the navigation bar. Usually Files should be at the first place.

This will help developers of third-party apps to use more actual list of search providers, see eg https://github.com/callmemagnus/nextcloud-searchpage

What's the point here? Developpers can retrieve the providers and reorder/filter them as they need.

The thing is about user: if user decides that Files should be the first app, that means, that he/she prioritises the output from this app for him/her. So, the provider Files should the first one in the list.

Developers are not willing to change the order, but mostly follow the logic of the server. This is the response from https://github.com/callmemagnus/nextcloud-searchpage

It looks like callmemagnus/nextcloud-searchpage#14 is the context.

Each provider (app) influences the search order via getOrder():

Navigation order is managed separately:
