Sort rank of "Home" item under sidebar starred items

This is primarily around the "Home" item in the starred menu in the sidebar.  The current sort appears to be in alphabetical order, which makes perfect sense to me.* However the "Home" item then falls to mid pack**, and can get a bit lost. I would view it as a special item that gets priority over regular bullets in sort, much as it does in the CtrlP/popup search  menu. 

I also want to take this opportunity to say how grateful I am for the full width option, it's really great. 

 

* I can see an arguement for heirarchy depth to factor in, but I can also see the giant can of worms there, so thats neither here nor there.

** H is tehcnically above mid pack, but emoji.  I use so many emoji.

  I think starring Home is a waste of starred menu space  :) 

  You have two main built-in methods:
  
  

  1. Use the keyboard shortcut Crtl+' or Cmd+'  
  2. If you must click... click "Home" in the breadcrumb

  It's something that is more relevant to me on mobile, where as far as I know the breadcrumb is the only option. But I had a feeling this was the consensus when the favorite-ing star was removed from the right side of the home page by default, so not too surprising. 

  thanks kindly,

  ahh, I completely get the issue on mobile.
  
  You can "hack" a starred page shortcut that will sort to the top.

  1. From Home
  2. Search for a single space (WorkFlowy ignores the space and doesn't actually search)
  3. Star the search
  4. You should get a "in Home" shortcut at the top

  fwiw, I wish WorkFlowy would make the bottom toolbar on mobile customizable, then people could add a home icon if they want.

  That's awesome!

  I had unstarred my home page when I was testing everything before submitting this post, and panicked a bit that I might have lost it permanently, being happy to just get back where I was using Ctrl shift 8, but this is great. 

  Thanks very much,
