Description

Tournament Archived order doesn't work (or works mysteriously)
slack thread: https://metaculus.slack.com/archives/C01Q9AQBVHB/p1767381176715089

The sort on the archive in the tournaments page seems broken, some more recent tournaments are showing up at the bottom. https://www.metaculus.com/tournaments/archived/

Maybe the returned data is ignoring the sort, or is it something else?
