Extensions which require an action (reload and update) are pushed to the top of the default installed view. We give the option to the user to ignore updates which will not push the extension to the top anymore and won't count as an extension requiring action for the badge count.

1. Change the version of an activated extension to an outdated version (use the gear icon in the extension list and pick Install Another Version... and pick an older version).
2. Outdated extensions should show the Update split button as well as reload button. As we manually set the version to an outdated one, we automatically start ignoring any updates for those extensions. To confirm, click dropdown of the Update button, and check that the Ignore Updates option is checked. Also confirm that the extension activity bar icon shows a 1 for this extension, due to the Reload Required button.
3. Reload the workbench. The extension should now only have the Update split button. It should not be sorted to the top nor should there be any number badge in the extension activity bar icon due to it.
4. Uncheck Ignore updates in the install dropdown for all outdated extensions. Notice the new 1 badge in the extensions activity bar icon.
5. Refresh the extension view. The outdated extension should be at the top of the default installed view. The badge should still be showing the 1 indicator.
6. Turn on Ignore Updates once more. Notice the 1 is gone.
7. Refresh the extension view. Sort order should go back to normal.
8. Play around with changing extension versions and make extensions require updates.

The following should always hold after refreshing the default installed view. The view should display all outdated extensions at the top which do not have ignore updates set. Then all reload required extensions are listed and afterwards all other extensions. Extensions which are outdated but have ignore updates set should be in the default sort order and not pushed to the top. (alphabetically)

Test the same scenario across multiple extensions simultaneously.
