I would like to be able to sort the "My Repositories" table on the Gitea home page by most recently updated (like Github does) rather than by alphabetically. An alphabetic sort isn't particularly useful, when a user has more than 15 repos it shows the same set all the time and newer active repos get buried.

The backend SearchRepositoryByName function supports several sort modes, but they're not exposed in the /repos/search API used by the JS for the widget. Hooking that up was straightfoward and I'll open a PR soon.

Passing the new parameters to the API call in the repo-search is trivial if we're willing to unconditionally change that behavior. Making it user-selectable (and persistent) would be trickier but still possible.

👍 is the patch already in a stage where I can test it?

@hasufell The API enhancement in #3964 is done, just waiting for the Gitea team to merge it when they're ready. You can grab that for testing right now.

Hooking the new API parameters to the GUI is easy, but there isn't a single commit you can cherry-pick right now. You can use aswild@d0e1d20 and change order=1 to order=desc on index.js line 1842 to match the updates I made from review comments.

When #3964 is merged I'll open a new PR here to hook it up to the GUI
