Secondary sort key (timestamp) should be in descending order on Collaborative contributions table
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Followup from T400722

Timestamp is correctly used as a secondary sort key, but it is currently used as a secondary sort key in ascending order, whereas when timestamp is used as the default (primary) sort key, it is used in descending order.

Acceptance criteria:
The secondary timestamp sort key should also be descending, as it is when the default view for the contributions tab is viewed.

I mentioned this in T400722#11126865 and following comments, it's not really possible to change this given what's currently supported by the IndexPager hierarchy. All the sort keys will need to use the same direction.

Okay, does this need to be marked as invalid or declined then?

Yeah, I think so, based on previous conversation in T400722. It could be reopened if there are many requests for it, but it wouldn't be a trivial change.
