Document tag publish-date sort in the container registry

What does this MR do?

The tag-details page in the container registry said tags sort only by name. When the container registry metadata database is enabled, tags also sort by Published, which is the default and lists the most recently published tags first. I add the missing option to the page and link to where the metadata database is enabled. On a 19.2.4 instance with the metadata database enabled, the tag list sort dropdown offers Published and Name, with Published selected by default.

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.

AI-Generated Content Disclosure: This MR was prepared with assistance from Claude Code. The output has been reviewed for correctness, verified against the source and a running instance, and validated against the documentation style guide.
