If it’s not supported by the protocol, how is ad admin’s sorting of channels supposed to be pushed to the users in the server? It won’t work, it can’t be a client option. If it has to be a client option and it can’t, then it’s impossible.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Matrix is the communication protocol between clients and servers. It can’t dictate how a client displays those communications. It would be like TCP demanding that webpages be laid out a certain way.

HTML and CSS are also protocols. But I think a better analogy is RSS. RSS carries information about the order of posts, which clients can use however they want. I think that’s the right way to do this feature.

How does my client know to use dark mode without the protocol knowing?!

Are you saying you want the moderators of a Discord server to decide whether users on the server use dark mode or light mode?

Exactly this, that’s a client quirk, probably Element in this case.
