Let users choose which activity to display on top

I'd like to suggest a feature where users are able to choose which activity is displayed on the profile pop-up. As of now, users have no option to choose which game is displayed on their smaller pop-up profile but to quit the currently dominant activity so the one below it can take its spot. I believe it would be great to have an option for users to manually choose which of their on-going activities are displayed as a status. This would help those who don't want to disable their activity privacy toggles completely but who would like to make certain activities less prominent on their profile.

Here's a draft I made, the "Choose which activity to display" is what I added to the normal "Registered Games" section (which should probably be renamed to "Registered Activities"):

To explain my point further, here are some real-life examples in which the current activity approach is an inconvenience rather than an advantage. First, let's say a user has a singular activity displayed on their profile. The activity will appear as follows (with or without buttons, depending on the application and its integration with Discord):

Now, suppose the user has two different activities running at the same time. They are unable to control which is displayed on top. The only way is for them to close the upper application and to re-open it, which is suboptimal for productivity:

If the user would now like to display the bottom activity on their status, they would need to close the top application and restart it so the one below gets boosted to the top (Note: This does not apply to Spotify, which will always remain in a recessive state and will always make space for other activities if they are turned on). This new feature would allow for a much easier way of switching between activities and would embrace ease of access for newer users as well as improve the overall user experience.

I've also uploaded this suggestion to the Discord subreddit (Please don't let the idea die, I genuinely think this would be a cool thing to add)

Here's a finalized version of my concept. I've replaced every element with an object created in Adobe Illustrator, so I can move everything around freely.
