Proposed Refactor The mental model of separating data, rules, and rendering—is the cornerstone of scalable and maintainable system design. Decoupling and Reusability: By extracting the sorting logic into pure, composable "Rule Primitives" (selectedFirst, recentFirst, etc.), you create a library of behaviors. As you correctly pointed out, this logic is no longer trapped inside ThemesCatalog. It can be imported and reused in any component that needs to display an ordered collection: a file explorer, an app launcher, a command palette, and so on. This is a massive win for code reuse and consistency. Separation of Concerns (SoC): The refactor makes the ThemesCatalog component "dumber" in the best way possible. Its responsibility shrinks to primarily rendering the data it's given (). It no longer needs to know the intricate details of how that data was ordered. This makes the component easier to understand, test, and maintain. The logic for ordering is now explicitly defined and composed, m
