Add option to sort scripts by last modified in editor script sidebar

[vaner-org]

Describe the project you are working on

A third person stealth game with lots of interlocked scripts that I often jump back and forth between.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

When the scripts inspector in the left sidebar of the script editor gets very cluttered, it becomes a little difficult to find scripts, especially since they are initially sorted alphabetically but can also be manually rearranged. They turn blue when edited, but the list can grow very long very fast.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

A button that would allow scripts to be sorted alphabetically or by last modified. This can be rearranged by dragging as the user currently can, but the two behaviors would enact their rules accordingly. The alphabetical setting would continue to insert new scripts where it wants to, and last modified would track changes and place the most recently edited scripts on top.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

A toggle button similar to what the methods list below has, with the tooltip either "Sorting scripts alphabetically" or "Sorting scripts by last modified" depending on which is selected.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

It will be used very often.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

It improves editor usability.
