   I think there's a good idea here, but dynamic ordering can be confusing to users. As you'd author your first few dashboards, ordering may move around before a real usage pattern emerges. "Why is the ordering changing every time I open this dialog?".
   
   Also looking at the current logic, from my understanding I think the component ordering may shift under the user's mouse. Once the async request finishes (say if it takes 1-200ms) the user may see flickering.
   
   My vote would go towards re-thinking the ordering based on overall usage, but probably leaving it static.
   
   A few related ideas in this area:
   * categorize the visualizations in the modal
   * add a "quick toggle" for popular types near the label so that users don't have to open the modal to switch across common types
