Tasks view can no longer be sorted by priority

[lukeu]

• [✓] I verified I can reproduce this issue against Eclipse SDK 4.33-M1 (Updated from prior versions)
  • Includes a few extras like Buildship
  • Running on JDK-17

Steps to reproduce

From a clean workspace:

1. Create a Java Project and class Test with the following content:

   /**
    * TODO: Test
    * FIXME: Really
    */
   public class Test {
          // TODO: Here too
       public static void main(String[] args) {
       }
   }

2. Open the Tasks view
3. (If necessary) compile the code to populate the view

Observations:

• Click the Description or Line table headers to confirm sorting - works
• Click the Priority table header - nothing happens
• Try the [ ... ] menu > Sort By > Priority - nothing happens

Comments: This issue was also present in Eclipse 4.32, but I suspect it must have regressed relatively recently. I haven't used this view for some months, so I can't give a solid timeframe. Just that when do, the priority-sort is something I would always use (due to years of TODO tags from a whole team).

There is nothing relevant-looking in the log.

Tested under this environment:

Eclipse SDK Version: 2024-09 (4.33) Build id: I20240704-1800 Windows 11

• [✓] I'd be happy to help try and pinpoint the regression (via git-bisect) if someone can give me some pointers on which repo/package/(ideally) class to focus on. And maybe answer a few questions if I get stuck trying to get a dev env set up in a way to do such a bisect.

Observed as working in Eclipse SDK 2023-12 (4.30) (separate computer, but with a similar configuration)

Could be regression from f13fb4997f5e7849da26285938a3a0aea1769747 / https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/pull/1733 (if I see it right, done in 4.32). @jukzi : could you please check?
