The Problem

An admin would like to select which file their developers see first when they open the project from the Develop tab. Maybe it's a welcome file, or one with instructions. There isn't an option to select this, so how can they do this in practice?

A Solution

Looker follows a simple hierarchy when selecting the files to display:

1. A README document file
2. Any other document file
3. Model file
4. Any other file

The solution for this problem is for them to rename the file they wish to display first as a README.md file, as that will be displayed first, before any other file type.
