Make search results sortable

[alexgarel]

Problem

Currently when you do a search, you can't sort entries

Proposed solution

• Propose a search sort parameter in API
• Add a widget for search

Fields to sort upon:

• the entry id (asc / desc)
• the entry name in a given language (asc / desc) - use currently languages selected for display
• the modification time (asc / desc)

Additional context

See models/search_models.py for the search implementation.

This would be important to integrate smartly with it.

Adding a sorting parameter to the API and a corresponding UI widget makes sense. By the way a quick question : Should the default sorting be by modification time (newest first), or do you have a preferred default? I will be happy to take this task and explore more on this issue .

@AdityaP700 sorry I didn't see your message (way too much notifications here, don't hesitate to join our https://slack.openfoodfacts.org/ and ping me in #taxonomy-editor channel).

👍 for modification time, with last modified first, this really make sense.
