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.

Contributor guide
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.
