The proposed solution is to sort the candidate editor's picks rather than only using snaps as this would otherwise be empty if snap support was not installed (e.g. manually uninstalled or an Ubuntu derivative using GNOME Software).

As snaps are the newest and preferred method of installing things in Ubuntu it should show these before the other options. [Test Case] 1. Open GNOME Software 2. Look at "Editor's Picks" section Expected result: This section contains seven of the snaps from the "featured" snap store section. Observed result: This section contains a mix of .deb and snaps. Some snaps may not be shown due to not being able to fit them all in. [Regression Potential] Solution is to change the sort priority of the apps to show. Could potentially introduce bugs if not correctly implemented.
