Description

### Quick summary

When using the Site Editor (Pages > List > Filters ) in the mobile app some actions lead to a black screen, the content will not load.

### Steps to reproduce

Using the mobile app, load a site with no plugins.
Go to More > Themes > Customize.
The Customizer loads showing the Site Identity, Homepage Settings and Additional CSS options (when on Premium plan)
Click on "Use Site Editor".
Select Pages.
Click the gear icon for settings.
Click the up arrow to change the Order. Or select sort by Author.
Notice that the screen is black.
Click the 'x' at the top left to exit the Site Editor and return to the Themes section.

### What you expected to happen

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the mobile app through More > Themes > Customize > Use Site Editor > Pages, then open the gear icon in List view and change Order or Author sorting. Trace the Site Editor Pages List filters from that entry point and compare their behavior with Grid and Table views. Done means the filters load without a black screen and remain usable like the desktop version.
