Enhancement: Change dropdown placeholder from "Default Sort" to "Sort By Default"

[Vaanshimadaan]

Feature Description

On the "Explore Projects" landing page, the placeholder/label inside the project sorting dropdown menu currently reads "Default Sort" as seen in image_0e5739.jpg. While it functions properly, the phrasing feels grammatically awkward and doesn't align with standard microcopy conventions used in modern web interfaces.

The label inside the dropdown should be updated to "Sort By Default" (or simply "Sort By"). This minor change will make the user interface feel much more intuitive, natural, and professional for community developers browsing through projects.

Proposed Solution

Proposed Solution

1. Locate the Component: Navigate to the frontend directory collegems-client/src/pages/ and open the file rendering the "Explore Projects" layout (likely ExploreProjects.tsx or a related filter sub-component).
2. Update the Text: Inside the dropdown configuration or option list, locate the string "Default Sort" and change it to "Sort By Default" (or "Sort By").
3. Verify UI Alignment: Ensure that the new string length does not disrupt the visual spacing or cause unexpected line wraps inside the dropdown input field shown in image_0e5739.jpg.
