Description

The default App Order can't be changed as of now, because it's hard coded. But users can thankfully change their app order in their personal settings thanks to #40844. Now it would be great if Admins can change the default App Order in the Administrator Settings and optionally make it to force the user to use the Admin defined App Order.
