Currently, Akkoma sorts by published date first before everything else.
This however makes search results pretty bad since Meilisearch uses a
bucket sort algorithm in order of the ranking rules specified.

Since the published attribute is a unix timestamp, the resulting
buckets are pretty small so the other rules essentially have little to
no effect on the rankings of search results.

This fixes that issue by moving the published:desc rule further down
so it still sorts by date, but only after considering everything else.

AFAIK attribute and sort doesn't really affect results for Akkoma since
the only attribute considered is the content attribute and the sort
parameter isn't used in Akkoma searches. Everything else is made to
match more closely to Meilisearch's defaults.
