Hello, my name is Miguel, and I'm currently a student of software engineering. I'm here to ask if it's possible to implement a functionality such that every single user can order its lists, and state that it's its default view when other visit its profile favorite repositories TAB.

Yes, it's definitely possible to implement such a functionality where each user can order their list of favorite repositories and set a default view that other users will see when visiting their profile's favorite repositories tab. Here’s a general outline of how you can achieve this:

1. Database Changes:

   • Add a column in your database for storing user preferences related to sorting (e.g., sort by name, date added, most starred, etc.).
   • You might also want to store the default view settings for each user so that their customized settings are displayed to others.

2. Backend:

   • Create an API endpoint that allows users to save their sorting preferences.
   • Another endpoint should fetch these preferences whenever someone visits a user’s profile. The default view for the favorite repositories tab should reflect the owner’s chosen settings.

3. Frontend:

   • Implement a sorting feature in the UI that allows users to select their preferred sorting method (e.g., a dropdown or toggle buttons).
   • Once the user chooses a sorting method, save this preference through the backend API.
   • When someone visits another user's profile, load the repositories based on the saved preferences from the backend.

4. User Experience:

   • Provide users with the ability to easily change and reset their sorting preferences.
   • Ensure the default sorting is intuitive, like sorting by most recent or most popular, while allowing full customization.
