Description

Request from Manoj
  1. In Topics display: can a column "Date item added” be added? This could replace the "Description" column, since this column is not used (pls note: "publish date" is different from the date when the content is uploaded to SkillRx).
  2. In Topics display: Can the column headers be made clickable to enable sorting. There is expressed desire to be able to sort by "update date".
Current Conditions

The Topics interface currently sorts by published_at in descending order by default. Users can change it to ascending order.

The published_at date is displayed below the topic title to save space. It is not obvious that it's sorted by that date.

UID appears to be unused.

Changes

Topics List Page

Remove the description column. In its place, add created_at with the label "Added". Use the short, readable date format: e.g. Jan 01, 2021.

Before the Title column, add "Published". For the value, use the same short, readable date format. Remove the publication date from the title column so that column only displays the title.

Remove the UID column.

Topics Edit Form

Leave the description field in place.

Schema

No changes to the schema. This is a UI update only.
