Description

It would be great if in the user management the list would be properly sortable.
I guess this will also need backend changes because of the lazy loading.

Research direction

Start by tracing the user-management list and its lazy-loading path. Confirm how username and email sorting should behave, including the duplicated email mention, then verify the list remains correctly sorted while loading additional users. The issue names no files or tests, so the relevant entry points will need to be located first.
