Description

An enhancement - After the user clicks to sort by Status, within that sort, it would be nice to automatically order by 'Weeks in queue' descending. This would make it easier to see what documents are oldest within a given status. (Currently it's unclear what the sort is within each status.)

I propose Weeks in state desc no matter whether status is asc or desc, i.e.,
ORDER BY status desc, weeks_in_queue desc
ORDER BY status asc, weeks_in_queue desc

Research direction

Start by locating the status-sort handler or query and the existing weeks_in_queue field in the repository. Check how status sorting behaves in both ascending and descending directions, then verify that records within each status are ordered by weeks_in_queue descending. Done means both sort directions consistently apply that secondary ordering.
