Description

### Describe the problem that you'd like solved

Trying to figure out the earliest entered Work (or other entity) in the database from a list such as https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL2317566A/Frank_Bohn can be really difficult if there are several pages and you have to manually compared the OL…W ids of the URLs.

(In this specific case, I am trying to figure out what "Frank Bohn" was added for so I can move the correct Works out of him into a new/another Frank Bohn, but it seems OL2317566A was created in 2008 and all the Works associated with it in 2009, so not all that helpful here, but it’s something I’ve been wanting for other entities before too.)

### Proposal & Constraints

Add a "sorted by" option for filtering by "item age" or something else. Due to the technical nature of it, this could be limited to librarians.
