Citadel Search: Remember sort order while on page?

Nobody has claimed this yet.

We got this suggestion in a ticket:

> I know I can select by date, but I am wondering if the sorting policy can be made default.
> For example, if I search for a person A and change the results sorting to "newest first" I can get a chronological list of meetings in which A presented. If I now type a person B in the search bar, the sort policy goes back to "most relevant". Could this be avoided through the user preferences?

TBH I also usually switch to "most recent"... it could be interesting to either save your last order it in a user preference (but for "oldest first" that may be weird since that's likely NOT what one wants by default), or simply not reset it when you search for something else without reloading the page.

The issue names Citadel Search but no files or tests; start by locating the search implementation and the code that resets sorting when a new query is entered. Clarify whether the intended behavior is to preserve the current order or save it as a user preference, then verify that a second search follows the chosen behavior instead of unexpectedly returning to most relevant.
