Comment:

 I have some concerns about the placement of the filter. If it's specific
 to ordering the widgets it should be tied specifically to a sorting
 function, such as maybe making the `_sort_name_callback` callback
 filterable.

 I can easily see this getting misused for doing things like removing
 widgets from the list altogether or otherwise manipulating the list in
 ways that fall far outside the scope of simply changing the order.

 If general filtering here is something we want to promote, great, rename
 the filter. If not, then maybe we should reconsider the implementation.
