Pair selector: list economic pairs first and group by shared token (cLUNC/UST1 buried below test gems)

Summary

The pair dropdown (Swap / Limits / Trade / Charts) lists pairs in factory-creation order, so the three economic pairs are split up: UST1/USTR and UST1/cUSTC at the top, then eight soft-launch gem pairs, then cLUNC/UST1 at the very bottom. A user looking for the UST1 markets has to scroll past EMBER/CORAL, EMBER/JADE, … to find the third one, and nothing signals that the gems are test tokens.

Suggested ordering (all pair dropdowns)

Economic pairs first, gems last. "Economic" = both sides are real tokens (cLUNC, cUSTC, UST1, USTR, CL8Y, …); gems (EMBER, CORAL, JADE, ONYX, RUBY, TOPAZ, QUARTZ, PEARL) are faucet-mintable and belong at the end — or under a collapsed "Test pairs" divider.
Within economic pairs, group by shared token so a hub token's markets sit together — e.g. all UST1 pairs adjacent (UST1/cUSTC, UST1/USTR, cLUNC/UST1). Sorting by the highest-volume token, or simply alphabetically by the quote/hub asset, achieves this.
Optionally, sort within a group by 24h volume so the liquid market is on top.

Also spotted

The UST1/USTR row shows "VOL 19,297,048T" — USTR is 18-decimal and the volume figure appears to be scaled as 6-decimal (12 orders of magnitude off). Same class of issue as #518 / #529 (decimals gap); likely a one-line fix in the indexer/formatter.

Why it matters

The pair list is most people's first click; putting real markets first and clustering hub tokens makes the economic launch legible at a glance instead of hidden behind test pairs.

## Summary The pair dropdown (Swap / Limits / Trade / Charts) lists pairs in factory-creation order, so the three economic pairs are split up: UST1/USTR and UST1/cUSTC at the top, then eight soft-launch gem pairs, then **cLUNC/UST1 at the very bottom**. A user looking for the UST1 markets has to scroll past EMBER/CORAL, EMBER/JADE, … to find the third one, and nothing signals that the gems are test tokens. ## Suggested ordering (all pair dropdowns) 1. **Economic pairs first, gems last.** "Economic" = both sides are real tokens (cLUNC, cUSTC, UST1, USTR, CL8Y, …); gems (EMBER, CORAL, JADE, ONYX, RUBY, TOPAZ, QUARTZ, PEARL) are faucet-mintable and belong at the end — or under a collapsed "Test pairs" divider. 2. **Within economic pairs, group by shared token** so a hub token's markets sit together — e.g. all UST1 pairs adjacent (UST1/cUSTC, UST1/USTR, cLUNC/UST1).

!1067 merged to main (61f204b7). make verify-issue-534 8/8 after merge (108 Vitest).

Met: economic-first + UST1 hub grouping + formatQuoteVolume24h on pair pickers and pool cards; Trade/Limits Test pairs divider; typed search stays haystack order.

Left over (not in this close):

Charts 24h stats panel still uses formatNum(stats.volume_quote) — USTR pairs can still show a …T compact there
Charts pair menu is re-ranked but has no Test pairs divider
TradePage auto-pick test does not assert catalog-first when factory [0] is a gem

Thanks for the quick fix (!1067) — economic pairs first with UST1 hub grouping is a big usability win for anyone landing on the DEX now. Noted the Charts leftover in #540.
