Although preferences are evil, I see the point for customizing this.
Having ar: in the top if I have no idea of that language is useless, I
would prefer to sort first those languages I could understand, perhaps
with a separator from those I definetely don't know (others might want
to completely hide those).

Wikipedia instance's own language and English stay at the top, followed

providing alternative ordering methods for languages such as
alphabetical order, descending sizes of that page in each Wikipedia
instance.
Article sizes are not a perfect estimator for article quality, but seems
decent enough. However, it should be able to be overriden by marks of
Featured-article / Good-article when some of the entries are tagged as such.
Con: Any edit potentially means purgin the entries for all interwikis.
Although if the interwiki sort order is stored in wikidata, and we
perhaps aren't actively purgin the squid entries, that shouldn't be a
problem.
