Make ManageMentors table sortable
Closed, ResolvedPublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
Now the sorting of the table is incomprehensible and uncontrollable. It does not depend on the file or on the alphabet. It seems to me that it would be convenient to sort it alphabetically or enable sorting by name, date, activity, and so on.

This is useful both when included in another page, and in its pure form on Special:ManageMentors.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):
For example:

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
It is easier to search for people by username, by date of last activity, by date the mentor was added and, in the future, by status and weight. The last three will allow, if something happens, to help them more quickly (1 minute faster).

Makes sense. This is simple, doing!

The patch above also makes Special:ManageMentors alphabetically sorted (by username) by default, to make the table a bit more useful.

Checked in betalabs - all columns on Special:ManageMentors are sortable.

@Urbanecm_WMF - should the columns "Edit" and "Remove" be sortable?

Good question, probably not. Not sure how to make table only partially sortable though. I'll check.
