Add a column for "p5.js version" in the web editor sketches list #4313
Description
Increasing Access
Currently, the page https://editor.p5js.org/myUsername/sketches has the columns:
Sketch | Date Created | Date Updated | Visibility
I propose to add an additional column, p5 Version, which indicates the version of p5.js used by the sketch. This will increase accessibility by signaling which sketches are up-to-date, and which ones are possibly obsolete. It would help creators and educators like me know, quickly and at a glance, which of my sketches need to be updated to p5.js version 2.x. It could help spur creators to update their sketches!
Feature enhancement details
Currently, the page https://editor.p5js.org/username/sketches has the columns:
Sketch | Date Created | Date Updated | Visibility
I propose to add an additional column, p5 Version, which indicates the version of p5.js used by the sketch. If the community feels that this makes the list of sketches list complex, there could be a setting to turn it off in the Editor Settings control panel.

Thanks @golanlevin, I do think that adding that additional column would be helpful, considering how new p5 v2 is currently. But want to get input from @clairep94 @khanniie as well!

Sounds like a good idea! @golanlevin would you like to hack on a demo screenshot of your proposed design? Happy to improve implementation after

@clairep94 Thanks for your request! Here's a mockup of what I had in mind:
@yashgoyal0110 That's not up to me, but I'm glad you're offering.

@golanlevin the design looks good, (if you'd like you can pass it to @yashgoyal0110).

Thanks @doradocodes!
@yashgoyal0110, it sounds like you have the green light to proceed with the implementation of this enhancement.
Two quick remarks:
Custommay be an option in addition to numbered versions. It's possible there could also be unusual but valid options likeUnknownorNone— although I'm not certain about this.Thanks everyone!
