    [Notifications] Sort popups ascending · 55400729

    This ensures that newer notification popups don't push old ones out.
    Some applications are notorious for spamming the user which right now results in a firework
    of notification popups. With this patch only the number that fits on screen is displayed and
    everything beyond that is off screen until there's enough room for new popups which are
    then gradually lowered.
    
    It also reduces the likelihood of the notification the user is interacting with being shifted
    away by an incoming notification. Furthermore, since notifications that are off screen will
    have their timeout reset, it can happen that you have a bunch of recent notifications at the
    bottom but then get some old ones that were off screen sliding back in because some middle ones
    have expired already, leading to awkward results.
    
    Notification scoring (e.g. critical before normal) is untouched, so a "battery is critical" notification
    will show up even if it's still chugging through the backlog of browser notifications.
