Wagtail wish list: Ability to put snippets in order so the most used are on page 1.

[dorothyyeager]

Summary

What we're after:
As a Wagtail user who needs a snippet, it would be good to not have to go to the last page for the one I need.

Right now the snippets are in the order they were created. That means some of the most used ones (contribution limits for 2023-2024) and COVID snippet) are on the last page.

Completion criteria

• Snippets for 2023-2024 contribution limits, the COVID snippet and the coordinated party expenditures archive appear on page 1 of the snippet list.

We could add this to the EmbedSnippet model and it will order the snippets in the Wagtail admin from newest to oldest, putting most recently created on page one.

class Meta:
    ordering = ['-id']

Don't forget to run makemigrations and add the new migration file to the PR.

Note: Wagtail 4 will have a ton of new ways to handle Snippets, including adding sortability in the admin panel, although the implementation looks a bit complex at first glance of the docs.
