Flexible order of entries in metadata panel

Currently the order of entries in the metadata panel is hard-coded. In some cases it makes sense to have a different order than intended by TIDO.

Currently, the only way to achieve another order is to mess around with the TextAPI and heavily use the Metadata Object to achieve the sorting a project wants. It would be better to make the display order configurable.

Relevant projects:

• EUPT

I think that the AC for this issue should be as following:

• Flexible order of metadata between different document types: collection, manifest, item
• Flexible order of metadata items within a document type
  The user config would be like the following in the options of metadata panel:
  "orderDocumentsTypes": ["item", "collection", "metadata"] -> first show the metadata of item, then collection ...
  "orderCollectionMetadata": ['title','collector', 'description'],
  "orderManifestMetadata": ['Label', 'License', 'Date of creation', 'Place of origin', 'Current location', 'TEI document'],
  "orderItemMetadata": ['label', 'language', 'image_license', 'image_notes']

What do you think about the AC ? @mweidling @paulpestov

From my point of view this would be sufficient (for now that is–who know what will come next ;) ).

Sounds reasonable, although we will have to revisit this again when dealing with translations. One small thing: I think the ...Metadata ending of the keys is redundant since we already know that we are in the metadata config options, so just orderCollection should be enough.
