There isn't anything official but there are third party apps that provide something similar. I am not really interested in a feature like this so I don't know how well it works but you can check out Mammoth.

Thanks! I like it, but it does not allow me to order my own following feed differently…

Check out Phanpy.social for the Catch-up algorithm, which allows you to fully customise and sort your feed.

For a real 'For You' algorithm that suggests posts by people you dont follow, check out SoraSNS on iOS. That has a fully customisable algorithm where you can completely customise the topics the algo recommends, as well as how likely each topic is to be recommend.
