change sorting

[mstenz]

allow better sorting. pages that have an order command are now always first, not last.
this will fix #1

I am no javascript specialist. hope the code change is fine. i am aware that maybe the syntax can be made easier, but I don't know how this can be done. I have tested everything on my local environment and it looks fine and do what it needs.

It'd be great to see this merged!

Here's a filter to sort by name if anyone needs it. It ignores order, if you need that look at @mstenz code in the MR.

  eleventyConfig.addFilter("sortByName", function (arr) {
        return arr.slice().sort((a, b) => a.title.toLowerCase().localeCompare(b.title.toLowerCase()));
  });

usage: {{ collections.all | eleventyNavigation | sortByName }}
note: the slice() here is to avoid mutating the output of eleventyNavigation as I don't know if it could have undesirable side effects. It ensures the sorting only affects the rendered list.

@mrtnmgs That was a really useful snippet given that there is no response to this PR for a couple of years so thank you! May I ask, how did you work on it? Just dump the output of eleventyNavigation, or did you dive into the source code?
