Task/WC-166 Sort publication requests by descending date

[jarosenb]

Overview

• Updates the DescriptionList component to permit sorting by adding a _order key. The key is filtered out before rendering the list, so it won't show up in the UI.
• Sorts publication requests in descending date order before passing them to DescriptionList.

This works well, although I wonder if a simpler solution would be to do the sort in the backend when retrieving the publication requests. Somewhere over here. Let me know what you think

A simple solution is impossible here unfortunately- the DescriptionList in core-components takes an object as a prop and iterates over its keys, so there's no way to guarantee the ordering except by adding a new key/value to the description data.
