Change the default order for packages in the package registry list view to default to "published" instead of "created"
Problem to solve
Users can often have a variety of packages in a single registry. By default, we currently sort this created date. However, the timestamp may actually be the "published" date. Elsewhere in the Package stage and package registry UI, we focus on the published date. This current setup may cause confusion for users.

Intended users
- Delaney (Development Team Lead)
- Sasha (Software Developer)
- Devon (DevOps Engineer)
- Sidney (Systems Administrator)
- Rachel (Release Manager)
User experience goal
Ensure that we're sorting the list of packages by the date users expect.
Proposal
Switch the default sort to "Published" and change the line copy from "changed" to "published" followed by the date the package was added to the registry.

Further details
I'd like to take a moment to confirm that the date we're currently sorting by is in fact a created date and not the published date.

We may need to update the possible sorting options, as well as any screenshots of the package registry list view.
Availability & Testing

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
The default sorting mechanism used in the Package Registry is clear, accurate, and what users expect.
Is this a cross-stage feature?
no
