📄 Description

Niri has a "Named Workspaces" feature,
where Workspace's id are assigned based on the order declared in the configuration file.

However, when Ironbar initializes, the WorkspacesChanged event output by Niri is not sorted by ID. As a result, even when I declare sort = "added" in Ironbar's configuration file, the final sorting remains inconsistent.

To achieve the expected behavior, we simply need to sort new_workspaces by ID before initializing workspaces in Ironbar. This change will not affect the original functionality.

This is my ironbar workspaces configuration

[[start]]
type = "workspaces"
sort = "added"
[start.name_map]
NETW = " NETW  "
TERM = " TERM  "
CODE = " CODE  "
CHAT = " CHAT  "
GAME = " GAME  "
6 = " TEMP  "
