No thanks. I don't want the federal government micromanaging social media product features. That should be left open to innovation and competition.

If feeds default to ordering by recency then some accounts are going to post constantly just to always appear at the top. This will hide more valuable content.

From a public policy standpoint, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has proposed extending Common Carrier legislation to cover social media. It's an interesting idea but I'm not sure whether it would be a net improvement.
