		 ', ',

## trimmed out other lines for length

		switch_if(
			$publisher=='Archive of Our Own', urls_from_identifiers('ao3:' & select($identifiers, 'ao3'), 1),
			$publisher=='FanFiction.net', urls_from_identifiers('ffnet:' & select($identifiers, 'ffnet'), 1),
			''
		), ',',

		switch_if(
			!$publisher=='Archive of Our Own', urls_from_identifiers('ao3:' & select($identifiers, 'ao3'), 1),
			!$publisher=='FanFiction.net', urls_from_identifiers('ffnet:' & select($identifiers, 'ffnet'), 1),
			''
		), ',',

	)

This gets the result I want:
- if both ids are available, both are listed
- If publisher is Archive of Our Own, the ao3 link appears first.
- If publisher is FanFiction.net, the ffnet link appears first.

But is this the best way to do this?

The template I posted doesn't give you what you want. It ignores the ordering request. What you did originally is a reasonable solution.
