Description Valentin Petzel 2021-05-12 20:26:36 UTC 
When opening the widget some networks might only appear after some time potentially changing the order of the previous networks and thus leading to very annoying behaviour. E. g. in my case I’m sometimes using a VPN to access resources from the university network. Now the problem is that often right before I click on the VPN entry some network gets detected, pushing down the VPN, and thus it connects to the other network instead.

So it would be nice to have some sort of behaviour where new networks will be appended to the bottom of the network list when you are currently hovering over the network list, and only be resorted when you stop hovering over the list.
