OK so, in my case and according to your proposal, I would get (from my Hub):
- Perso
- 0.7.x Schedule
- Work
- RC Test
- Cosmo

and a list of local collections I guess... Not sure where the subscribed 
collections will fall in that proposal. Where will they fit? I 
subscribed to them using tickets and they are all on different accounts.

Needless to say, this is not a very useful ordering. Not worse but as 
useless as the one I have on my Desktop machine. The fact that it is 
consistently useless is of little solace I'm afraid... I mean, it's not 
addressing any of the problems I have with collection ordering.

At the very least, if we go with this "sync collection order between Hub 
and Desktop" idea, we need to give to the user a way to reorder 
collections on the Hub. Something in the account browser would work for me.
