Refactoring of sortable tables

[weiquu]

Sortable tables are used in several pages, but a fair number of them don't make use of the sortable-table component. Searching sortable amongst .html files should bring up these 10 (unlikely to be more, but best to do a more thorough search):

• [x] Extension confirm modal (Completed: #12556)
• [ ] Per question view responses
• [ ] Sessions recycle bin table
• [x] Sessions table (Completed: #12501)
• [x] Student list (Completed: #12539)
• [ ] Notifications table
• [ ] Copy instructors from other courses modal
• [ ] Instructor courses page
• [ ] Copy questions from other sessions modal
• [ ] Instructor session individual extension page

It would be good to refactor the above components to make use of the sortable-table component to avoid duplication. Some other components, like the contribution question statistics component and the MCQ question statistic component, already make use of that component, so they can be referenced.

@weiquu Can you please describe the issue once again, I can work on this issue. One more thing what does sortable-table component do?

[weiquu]

Hi @mud1tx, you can find the sortable-table component files and look through them to see what they do and how they do it. As an overview, the sortable-table component, as the name suggests, is a sortable table. Do let me know if you run into any specific issues, and also detail your understanding and what you've tried so that I can better assist.
