Beta Icon Browser: Organize by Keyword instead of Upload Order

Title:
Beta Icon Browser: Organize by Keyword instead of Upload Order

Area:
beta icon browser

Summary:
To either have an option to switch between upload order and keyword order (as the normal icon viewer has) or to swap from an upload order to a keyword order.

Description:
I don't think it's really human nature to look for icons by the order in which we uploaded them: we don't remember that. We do remember icons, especially if we categorized them for organization. (Say, by fandom, or by color, or by mood!) I think that keyword order would be a more human-accessible way of organizing icons.

It has been pointed out to me that this would cause some icons to repeat with multiple keywords -- but I think that would be fine, since it wouldn't add to load time, but MIGHT add to user convenience.

I assume that changing the sort method would be fairly simple, so I would be willing to do this myself if there's interest from other users.

Ditto on the first keyword without repeats.
