Table sorting (by sum) doesn't work by default, not preserved when changing date range

Bug description

When viewing a table of results within an insight, choosing an ordering option (like by total sum), then changing the date range, the previous-selected ordering option isn't preserved.

Update: Sorting also doesn't appear to work by default when a saved insight is loaded from a link.

Here's when trying to load this insight, without adjusting any settings at all:

Expected behavior

When changing the date range, I'd expect my sorting remains the same.

How to reproduce

1. View a report (internal) while using the table display
2. Sort by top viewed pages
3. Change the time frame, and notice how the sorting isn't preserved

Environment
