When using sort=create_timestamp_desc or _asc, dates should be page creation dates

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

What happens?:
The dates in search results display last edit date, not page creation date. This is very confusing since it makes it seem that the search doesn’t actually sort by page creation date, since the dates are all random. The search should display page creation dates when sorting results in create_timestamp_ modes.

I encountered this while adding the title search link to the default output of {{disambiguation}} template in Russian Wikipedia, see https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Иванов,_Иван#footer Even I didn’t understand at first that the list is actually sorted because of the dates, I don’t think other editors would not be able to.
