Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
If a search returns multiple packages where the match criteria is the same priority, I'd like to be able to sort them by date. Either release date, or date last updated in the source.
Proposed technical implementation details
@denelon - can you link some of the other "sort packages by . . . " issues, or maybe even add an "Area-Sorting" tag?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the related “sort packages by” issues requested in the description and the current search-result ordering behavior. Clarify whether sorting uses release date, source update date, or both, and define tie behavior and the command-line interface before identifying implementation files and tests. Done means the selected date sort is documented, implemented, and covered by tests.
