Screwdriver: Cannot choose default collection

[yuichi10]

What happened:
I have some collections and the collection I often use one is not default.
I often need to change collection after access screwdriver and it is bit inconvenient

What you expected to happen:
Be able to choose default collection which will be displayed when access screwdriver root page.

How to reproduce it:
Nothing

I think choosing a default or just keeping track of the last collection the user had open would be nice.

Even forcing the collections to always be returned in the same order would be an improvement. Right now, every time I load the page, the collections are in a different order so I have to search for the one I want.

I think that it is necessary to be sorted at least. Currently it seems that sort processing is already implemented, so the sort request has probably been resolved.

Regarding displaying a collection other than My Pipelines on the default page, I propose three solutions referred to below.

1. Displays the default collection name with a pin. On the collection page, display a button that allows to switch the pin on/off. By turning it on, the position of the pin in the collection list also moves. If reload the screen, the pinned collection will be displayed first. By default, there is a pin on My Pipelines.
   

2. Place the default displayed collection name at the top of the list. Other behaviors are the same as solution 1 except that there are no pins in the list.
   

3. Keep the last collection the user had open and show the same collection when user reloads the display reopen the page.
   

The solution of 1 is not bad, but users will have to learn more ways to operate than they do now, increasing the unnecessary learning cost of using Screwdriver.cd. So I think the solution of 3 that do not require extra user operations are the simplest and best without sacrificing usability.

@jithine, @kumada626, and contributors. With agreement, I will start implementing it in the near future with solution of 3. I would appreciate your feedback.

@wahapo When I reload page on a collection screen, it shows a collection what I've seen just before. In context of solution 3, do you mean to access ui root like https://cd.screwdriver.cd/ rather than just page reloading?

[wahapo]

@yoshwata Well, that's right. What I expressed the reload was not accurate. What I really wanted to say was to close and reopen the browser for Screwdrivdr.cd.

@wahapo Thank you. I understand and agree to proceed with solution 3 👍

[jithine]

Solution 3 sounds good. 👍

Solution 3 sounds good to me, too.
