Describe the issue

Starting at https://datatracker.ietf.org

Select "Author or Affiliation Name", put "ciena" into the box, and click "Search", which gets to this page:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/search?name=&sort=&rfcs=on&activedrafts=on&by=author&author=ciena

Clicking any of the column headers immediately sorts the page by that column.

Then a moment later the page reverts to the original order - at which time the "&sort=..." value in the URL changes, reflecting which header was selected.

So there are three issues:

1. The page refresh is not required.
2. The "&sort=..." in the URL doesn't work.
3. The "&sort=..." in the URL doesn't accommodate reverse sorting.
