Result tables should be sortable, now it's implemented in javascript, it only works if we have <= 10 results. We should sort on the backend using a query argument like ?sort=my_column

Research direction
Start by tracing the result-table data flow from the existing JavaScript sorting to the backend response, then identify where a query argument such as ?sort=my_column can be handled. Verify that sorting works through the backend for result sets larger than 10 and that the table displays the requested order.
