Sort Receiving addresses by index (or creation date) #694

Under Window -> Receiving addresses the list can only be sorted by Label or Address. Both are inconvenient if e.g. you have two labels “Blah Jan 2022” and “Blah Jan 2022”, and now you need to rename the most recent one to 2023.

Sorting by the index could make sense (but is still ambiguous with multiple descriptors), or by label creation time.

I think only manually ‘requested’ receiving addresses have dates or independent IDs associated with them at the moment. (Stored via destdata entries in the wallet db.)

Is the suggestion to populate that data (and allow sorting on it) in this table if it’s available, or would the change be more extensive and involve updating the data in the DB if the label is set/modified in this window?

I would probably keep it as simple as possible. You also don’t really want to move things around once the user saves something.

I guess unused labels can go to the bottom?
