In UI and API, sort packages and vulnerabilities from newest to oldest. #1754
Description
When I use the UI and search for packages, or when I use the API, I would like to see results of package lists sorted by version from newest to oldest. Same for vulnerabilities, from newest to oldest.
Why? because I am more likely to be interested by recent and current versions than older versions and older vulnerabilities.

Hi @pombredanne , I have made some changes and testing them on my local server I have firstly imported some packages and vulnerability data and then runned
python3 manage.py improve compute_version_rankimporover in order to assign the the version ranking to the packages.After that I have impletelemented some changes in the views.py (https://gist.github.com/Rishi-source/25e42438c87c26c3b7d1324bba60609f) and I have got these results I am sharing a screenshot of the ordering of the results after implementing these changes which I have provided in the gist.
Please correct me If I am wrong at some point. I also want to ask that have I correctly sorted the vulnerability data on the basis of vulnerability_id or I have to use/make some other field in order to sort them.

Hi @pombredanne,
I was exploring this issue and noticed that there have already been some discussions and attempts to implement sorting.
Is this issue still open for contribution, or is there any remaining part that I could help with?
I would be happy to contribute if there is still work needed.
Thank you!
