Convert date column into sortable column

[sgjohnson1981]

I imagine I'm not the only user who might be interested in seeing what the newest submissions are, rather than just the top, to quickly see if there's any new papers we might want to read. Converting the date column into a sortable column would make that much easier. Thank you for your work.

I decided to ask Perplexity.AI if there was a simple way to do this. It helped me find some Chrome extensions that easily sort columns in any HTML table. Though the name column doesn't work well since there are icons thrown in that need their own columns.

Hi @sgjohnson1981 this would be a cool feature! Would you wanna try making a PR that does this?

Would probably be best left to a web dev, which I am not. Browser extensions work fine for my purposes. Since posting this the filtering was improved to include open-source and checked, though the "checked" still gets an icon which messes up sorting by model column, along with "new."

Unfortunately the upload mp4 feature isn't working. Trying to upload a screencast of me scrolling the list with table sorted by model column. Keeps failing with no verbosity as to the reason. If you access the table on Chrome with the table-sort-js extension and sort by model column you will see what I mean. It could be the extension so I'm not sure it's something in the web coding.
