    Optimize annotation fetch order in notebook · cd65d211
    Robert Knight authored
    Reduce the perceived loading time in the notebook by fetching
    annotations in, roughly, the reverse chronological order in which they
    are displayed.
    
    By default `SearchClient` fetches annotations by ascending creation
    date. This makes sense in the sidebar as it typically correlates,
    roughly, with the order in which the sidebar presents annotations by
    default (document location order). For the notebook however this is
    suboptimal.
    
     - Add `sortBy` and `sortOrder` options to `SearchClient` and
       `loadAnnotations` to control fetch order, with the defaults remaining
       the same as before (`created`, `asc`).
     - In `NotebookView` set `sortBy` to `updated` and `sortOrder` to desc
       to fetch annotations in reverse chronological order.
