[Admin Tools] Sort Newest/Oldest in New Course Search for Admins

The wonderful New Course Search in Canvas Production Release 2018-03-10 unfortunately removes the option to sort listings of courses based on course creation date.  Admins regularly need to work with the newest courses within an account, sub-account, or term; for example, a sub-account admin might need a glanceable list of which recently created courses remain unpublished.

 

The legacy Admin Courses searching/filtering sidebar included a Sort:  option which included Newest - Oldest and Oldest - Newest choices (as well as A - Z and Z - A, which do have equivalents in New Course Search).  It will be wonderful for New Course Search to include a similar capability, perhaps located near the Course column header.

Please please go back, this update is horrible, it doesn't sort and it often comes back with errors.

An interesting work-around!  But the feature was already there previously, they need to just add it back!  editing the html every time seems very tedious, but yes, somewhat helpful!

I would need Creation Date sort far more than a Publish Date sort.

But what I most want is our preferred sort to be sticky -- I hate having to change the sort every time I open the page.  It wasn't a problem on the old system because it was alphabetical and made sense, but the new default order makes no sense to me.
