Description

### Description

When viewing the episode list for a podcast that has multiple episodes that were release on same day, they appear out of order. In the attached screenshot you can see Episode 1 appears above Episode 2 despite other episodes appear properly in descending order.

### Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Find a podcast with episodes release on the same day (Pale Blue Pod used in the screenshot example)
2. Observer these episodes appear out of order.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the ordering problem with a podcast whose episodes share a release date, such as Pale Blue Pod, on Android 13 with app version 7.32-rc-1. Trace the episode-list ordering and verify that same-day episodes follow the expected descending order without changing the ordering of other episodes.
