Optimize components for large datasets

**Description**
Currently data lacks proper sorting support.

**Proposed solution**
Add configurable sorting with sensible defaults.

**Priority**: Low/Medium

No file or test is named. Start by locating the component and data-handling entry points, then inspect how data is currently presented for large datasets. Define the configurable sorting behavior and defaults from the existing interfaces, and consider the work done when sorting is available without breaking current data views.
