Describe the feature/enhancement

Hello and thank you for making such a great tool.
I have tried a couple of podcast servers, and so far this one is ticking all the boxes for my use 👍

Still, I have one feature request I did not find it the repo.

On page "latest", to be able to "sort by"
It could be 2 or 3 toggles on the header's empty grey bar where you'd have
Or it could also be a dedicated page if it's easier, still we should be able to use it on mobile app

sort by :

  • issue date
  • length / duration
  • alphabetical
  • gender / category /tag (optional ^^)

The toggle simply sort by "xx" in ascendant or descendant order

Best option would be to be able to filter out for example on duration, lower than 5 or 10 minutes, or higher than 50 minutes.

Use case scenario is that I personally (try to) listen to around 40 podcasts, and many about the News or daily shows, where you have the full length cast, but also some 5 minutes snippets.
I usually don't really want to listen to a 60 or 90 minutes podcast, while driving or working and just want to catch up with the latest news (I believe the name of the page is coming from that) and listen to 5 to 10 minutes podcasts.

So I face the situation where I have to browse through the latest page to find the ones from this duration in the middle of all others, listen to it, then refresh the page because there might be an other one at the bottom, etc

Let me know what you think of it.
Not completely sure the above is clear, it's getting late and I had a rough day.
Have a nice evening and weekend

The latest page is the 25 most recent episodes. I'm not sure what a sort option would do here. Would it sort the top 25 most recent episodes or would it sort all episodes for all podcasts?
