Sorting results by date and by type

[charlesreid1]

we can sort by type, but only aphabetically, and it's really awkward.

need a set of checkboxes to select/filter document types (link form elements to filtering a data table).

need to have a date field if it is available, use modified time if available but otherwise use created time. and make it a separate column that's sortable. things are going to get crowded.

might require rethinking the design to be something more like...

This should be revisited now that we have the single column results format.

Two options:

• let users sort by date or by score (radio button)
• let users filter types of document results (checkboxes)
