Channels should be in alphabetical order

Assuming you mean the output of /list, channels are listed in the order that the IRCd provides them to Iris. If you want some sort of ordering, get your ircd to do it.

I mean the channel switching tabs at the top.

What if you had like #c1 #c2 #c3 #c10 #c20 ? How would you order that? User-order would be much nicer, IMO.

You'd want a natural compare function here. pleanty exist

[SoniEx2]

You'd have to handle numbers, unicode, dates, and idk what else you can stick on channel names. Are you sure you want to do that?

[megawac]

https://www.npmjs.org/package/natural-compare handles all of that (besides dates why would a channel name be a date?)

[SoniEx2]

"Works well with dates in ISO format" what about the hundreds of other date formats currently in use? Timestamps? (AM/PM vs 24h)

@SoniEx2 There is a difference between "good enough" and "handles every edge case ever", in this case a simple alphabetical sort is "good enough". I don't care if its #c1 #c2 #c3 #c10 #c20 or #c1 #c10 #c2 #c20 #c3, either is better than #c3 #c10 #c20 #c2 #c1 or whatever undefined order may arise.

@SoniEx2 it's impossible to handle them all in any other place (think m/d/y and d/m/y in the same list), and who the hell puts dates in channel names anyway? so don't care about handling them all here, let's say it's just a bonus that the standard international date format sorts well.

[SoniEx2]

Well then at least make it configurable between user order (user can rearrange tabs) and ASCIIbetical/alphabetical/whatever order (default)
