Description

**Describe the solution you'd like.**
When trying to perform an advanced search (via "view and filter results"), it would be great if you could sort the results by `last updated at` and `last created at`. That way, you can find what you're looking for a lot more effectively, especially if you know that the question/dashboard you're looking for was created at a certain time (such as within the last day).

**Additional information**
Would help with a customer request, also was asked internally before

Research direction

Start from the advanced-search “view and filter results” entry point and review related improvement issue #70593. Trace how advanced search results are presented, then determine how “last updated at” and “last created at” sorting should be exposed; done means users can sort by either field when viewing and filtering results.
