Description
Hello
Is there a setting that determines the order in which Nickname, Name and Username are displayed in user messages in channels and private messages?
For example, we want to display Nickname if one exist, otherwise show Name. If both Nickname and Name fields are empty, display Username.
We use Docker Compose install: RocketChat 5.4.3

Research direction
The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the user-message rendering path and any existing display-name setting, then determine whether the requested nickname, name, and username fallback order belongs in the client or shared user data; done means the order is applied consistently in channels and private messages.
