Sort downloads #1548

When looking at the downloads page, it is a bit confusing.

Because of how the LTS is organized, it looks like the releases are scattered, e.g.:
(Imagine this as an actual table)

  • Python 3.8.1 [Download]
  • Python 3.6.7 [Download]
  • Python 3.5.x [Download]

It just looks confusing. I feel like there should be a way to sort releases, and have the latest release have its own 'recommended' square (for newer users).
I'm thinking a dropdown titled "Sort By" with options such as 2.7 Series, 3.8 Series, 3.7 Series, and so on for all the different semver releases of Python.

I'm open to suggestions on how this proposal itself could be improved.

EDIT: I have made a prototype that shows what I'm thinking.
