Description
This is related to issue #5131 but it would be extraordinarily useful if the display order for the order of datasets in a dataverse could be specified (similar to the display order of the questions in a guestbook can be set) and be able to set this to the default 'sort' method.
ADA has many datasets that need to be in a specific display order and the ADA team ends up trying to make small changes just to publish them and get them into the order they need to be in. Very time consuming! And it seems that being able to set the display order would be a reasonable thing to do.
Being able to set the display order of Dataverses would be extremely useful as well.

Research direction
Start by reading related issue #5131 and tracing the existing guestbook question display-order behavior referenced here. Identify the dataset and dataverse listing entry points, then determine how a configured order could become the default instead of publication date. Done means both datasets and dataverses support a specified display order, with tests covering the ordering behavior.
