Turns out the hardcoded values are only added if there is less than 5 popular apps. This is resolved by making sure the snap plugin runs before the hardcoded plugin.
** Description changed: [Impact] - The "Editor's Picks" section currently contains a mix of hard-coded values, values based on Ubuntu reviews and snaps from the "featured" snap store section.

As snaps are the newest and preferred method of installing things in Ubuntu it should show these before the other options. [Test Case] 1. Open GNOME Software 2. Look at "Editor's Picks" section Expected result: This section contains seven of the snaps from the "featured" snap store section. Observed result: This section contains a mix of .deb and snaps. Some snaps may not be shown due to not being able to fit them all in. [Regression Potential] Solution is to change the sort priority of the apps to show. Could potentially introduce bugs if not correctly implemented. ** Description changed: [Impact] The "Editor's Picks" section currently contains a mix of hard-coded values and snaps from the "featured" snap store section.
