[Feature] Sort search results by date

The feature

It would be really nice to be able to sort the search results by date (newest), like the regular photo timeline.
Like it currently is in Google Photos. When I search for something I usually know the approximate date when it was taken, but with Immich I cannot find an easy way to scroll to the correct date (except by inputting it in search filters, which in most cases is tedious).

Here you can see how Immich compares to Google Photos. Immich shows old (by "best match" I guess) instead of a timeline of photos like on Google)

While "best match" is useful on some occasions, it would be very useful to be able to change the default search view to "newest first" or "oldest first".
