Louis DeLosSantos 8b512e7b22 sway,feat: allow alphabetical sort
for users who do not utilize any form of "workspace prev/next" commands,
it can be very handle to sort the workspaces alphabetically.

this commit adds a new "alphabetical_sort" to the `sway/workspaces`
module which allows the module to alway sort workspaces alphabetically.

this docs are updated to warn the user of the implications involved.

# NAME
waybar - sway workspaces module
# DESCRIPTION
The *workspaces* module displays the currently used workspaces in Sway.
# CONFIGURATION
Addressed by *sway/workspaces*
*all-outputs*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
If set to false, workspaces will only be shown on the output they are on. If set to true all workspaces will be shown on every output.
*format*: ++
typeof: string ++
default: {value} ++
The format, how information should be displayed.
*format-icons*: ++
typeof: array ++
Based on the workspace name and state, the corresponding icon gets selected. See *icons*.
*disable-scroll*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
If set to false, you can scroll to cycle through workspaces. If set to true this behaviour is disabled.
*disable-click*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
If set to false, you can click to change workspace. If set to true this behaviour is disabled.
*smooth-scrolling-threshold*: ++
typeof: double ++
Threshold to be used when scrolling.
*disable-scroll-wraparound*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
If set to false, scrolling on the workspace indicator will wrap around to the first workspace when reading the end, and vice versa. If set to true this behavior is disabled.
*enable-bar-scroll*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
If set to false, you can't scroll to cycle throughout workspaces from the entire bar. If set to true this behaviour is enabled.
*disable-markup*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
If set to true, button label will escape pango markup.
*current-only*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
If set to true. Only focused workspaces will be shown.
*persistent_workspaces*: ++
typeof: json (see below) ++
default: empty ++
Lists workspaces that should always be shown, even when non existent
*on-update*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when the module is updated.
*disable-auto-back-and-forth*: ++
typeof: bool ++
Whether to disable *workspace_auto_back_and_forth* when clicking on workspaces. If this is set to *true*, clicking on a workspace you are already on won't do anything, even if *workspace_auto_back_and_forth* is enabled in the Sway configuration.
*alphabetical_sort*: ++
typeof: bool ++
Whether to sort workspaces alphabetically. Please note this can make "swaymsg workspace prev/next" move to workspaces inconsistent with the ordering shown in Waybar.
# FORMAT REPLACEMENTS
*{value}*: Name of the workspace, as defined by sway.
*{name}*: Number stripped from workspace value.
*{icon}*: Icon, as defined in *format-icons*.
*{index}*: Index of the workspace.
# ICONS
Additional to workspace name matching, the following *format-icons* can be set.
- *default*: Will be shown, when no string matches is found.
- *urgent*: Will be shown, when workspace is flagged as urgent
- *focused*: Will be shown, when workspace is focused
- *persistent*: Will be shown, when workspace is persistent one.
# PERSISTENT WORKSPACES
Each entry of *persistent_workspace* names a workspace that should always be shown.
Associated with that value is a list of outputs indicating *where* the workspace should be shown,
an empty list denoting all outputs.
```
"sway/workspaces": {
"persistent_workspaces": {
"3": [], // Always show a workspace with name '3', on all outputs if it does not exists
"4": ["eDP-1"], // Always show a workspace with name '4', on output 'eDP-1' if it does not exists
"5": ["eDP-1", "DP-2"] // Always show a workspace with name '5', on outputs 'eDP-1' and 'DP-2' if it does not exists
}
}
```
n.b.: the list of outputs can be obtained from command line using *swaymsg -t get_outputs*
