Find Designers page ranks portfolio evidence ahead of self-picked specialty labels

The Find Designers page puts portfolio evidence first in its filter order, ahead of design specialty, public projects, current work, and location. That ordering is a small but telling detail: it means a designer's ranking on this page is tied to what they can show, not just a specialty they've labeled themselves with.
Underneath that, the page is still structured as a SearchResultsPage with a SearchAction, and its results form an ItemList where each entry carries Person and Place details rather than a plain name-and-title line. So the evidence-first framing isn't just copy, it matches how the results are actually assembled.
For anyone maintaining a public profile, this is a useful thing to notice: a documented project outranks a self-chosen label here, which is a reason to keep concrete work visible rather than relying on a job title alone.
