Rearrange quick search options

Overview:

Mostly all the organisations use the external ID field, some of the ones that we are working with want to rearrange the quick search options so that the External ID field is at the top of the search options or at times change the label of these fields.

Existing:

We can switch on/off any fields that are available to quicksearch from /civicrm/admin/setting/search?reset=1

Also, if a user selects a field from the quicksearch dropdown, that field is set as the default search option but this is just as a cookie ie local to every user.

Proposed Implementation:

Instead of just having a checkbox for enabling fields, we can have a table where:

• the user can rearrange the the fields which would dictate the order of the fields in the quicksearch
• the user can set a particular field as default which would be the default selection globally
• the user can change the label of any fields for eg the label of External ID can be changed to Membership ID
