Create a "Pin to Profile" button on Groups pages similar to the "Represent Group" button to allow the user to select which Groups are displayed on their main profile page.

There should be a button on the UI, similar to "Represent Group", called something like "Pin to Profile".
Right now with the new profile design, a user's represented group, along with the first four groups, sorted by alphabetical order, are displayed.
This is frustrating, as:
- The groups displayed change based on if the user's membership to those groups is set to Public, Friends or Hidden, or Hidden but the user looking at the profile shares groups with the user they are inspecting.
- Users can't actually see what their own profile looks like to other users, since regardless of visibility settings, they'll always see the first four (or five if no group is represented) groups they are a part of in alphabetical order.

[1878] Allow pinning of groups in your full bio view
Cyrus Arji
In VRChat, the groups you join or rep are effectively an extension of your bio. It's a list of interests, things you find funny, or topics you might be interested in talking about.
On a user's in-app full profile page, the current system for the 'groups' card on the full bio places the user's repped group at the top and then shows their remaining shown groups in alphabetical order. This is wasted space and encourages groups to name themselves starting with numbers or the letter A to be shown "above the fold".
Instead, allow users to PIN groups that interest them to the top and show those instead. this would allow people to feature their interests and topics, which would function as a supplement to the mutual groups feature and help drive social connection.

Pinning groups would both help display core interests, sparking relevant conversation, and would provided a sort of curated list for new users to see what groups people enjoy being a part of.

This would be extremely useful. Especially if there is a way to somehow also list them by how active they are. Because a LOT of groups are nothing but filler tbh. So making groups that have instances often also take priority would be a lot of help. You could make it like a tagging system of said interests, and another tag of “active group”

Groups are literally used as an interests list in vrchat and being able to display the ones more relevant to your interests is a major way of finding new and interesting places to hang out as well as new people you might have otherwise overlooked. Being able to choose which ones you display is already a core part of vrchat, now please give us the ability to pin five groups to our bio instead of displaying the top alphabetical ones. Already 90% the time all I see is --GROUP-- names or "18+ verified" (group name starts with numeric and goes to the top) which is redundant information at best.

Yeah they really need some way to specify a sorting order for groups visible on your profile, the public/friends/hidden split is woefully insufficient.
Though with the public/friends/hidden trait per group affecting things it'd probably need a full drag-and-drop re-order interface to basically order groups with a 'move to top of list' clickable option since it's a guarantee drag-and-drop would be finicky at times.

Yesss this really needs to be a thing. I've been leaving a bunch of groups lately just trying to have some control over this.
