Subject: [PATCH] fix: apply sorting to search results on issues page

Previously, sorting was skipped when a search query was active, so
search results were only ordered by backend relevance ranking.
Now client-side sorting applies to search results too.
Also changed default sort from "created" to "updated" desc so most
recently updated issues appear first.
