Retain original order of the content in the documentation #953
Description
The content in the documentation is ordered alphabetically which is good but it can very helpful for beginners if it's ordered in the official documentation order. It will make it super easy for beginners to get started with a language or framework using devdocs. Here is an example from laravel 5.6 documentation:
If I open the official laravel 5.6 documentation it shows up in this order:
1. Prologue
2. Getting Started
3. Architecture Concepts
4. The Basics
5. Frontend
6. Security
7. Digging Deeper
8. Database
9. Eloquent ORM
10. Testing
11. Official Packages
This order makes it super easy to get started with laravel 5.6 and understand the documentation.
If I open the laravel 5.6 devdocs documentation, it shows up in this order:
1. Architecture Concepts
2. Database
3. Digging Deeper
4. Eloquent ORM
5. Frontend
6. Getting Started
7. Official Packages
8. Prologue
9. Security
10. Testing
11. The Basics
This order makes it harder to understand and get started with laravel 5.6.
It will be great to have something that could be added in the preference section to enable/disable the default documentation order to make it easier for understanding new concepts and this would also attract more developers to devdocs.

I would be glad to take up this and work on it over the holidays. I might reach out to ask a couple of questions though @tauseefsshah. Hope that is fine by you?

Wow! I was just about to suggest this feature, the guidelines directed me here. I'm thinking if there could be a separate page that arranges the links in the original order. Users could just follow from there. It's a very great user experience.
