DRYD-2045 Search Results > Authorities > Incorrect default sorted by

[spirosdi]

What does this do?

• It adds the defaultSortBy and defaultSortDirection to the columns configuration of authorities. It sets default sorting to termDisplayName:asc
• It fixes getting defaultSortDirection from config. It also fixes populating sortDirLabel

Why are we doing this? (with JIRA link)
The authorities are sorted by display name: asc, in the backend. However missing configuration leads to showing the default value (updated at: desc) in the Sort By select of the search results page: https://collectionspace.atlassian.net/browse/DRYD-2045

How should this be tested? Do these changes have associated tests?

1. Run the updates locally
2. Search for any authority
3. In the search results, the Sort By select should be set to "Display Name" ascending. In order to confirm the order direction (ascending), you will need to hover the change sort button and check the title/tooltip appearing:

Changes look good. Compared to behavior on core.collectionspace.org and see the same behavior.
