Sort by first seen, last seen, and frequency in Sentry error list in GitLab

Problem to solve

Errors are often plentiful, noisy, and challenging to dig through to find the important ones that are impacting users. As we are displaying a list view of Sentry errors in GitLab, we need to provide users with tools (such as search, sort, and filter) to refine this list according to criteria that is important to them.

As part of &2031 - this issue specifically targets adding the sort button group to the filter bar on our Error Tracking list page.

Intended users

• Delaney (Development Team Lead)
• Sasha (Software Developer)
• Devon (DevOps Engineer)
• Sidney (Systems Administrator)
