The LASTORDER cookie is overwritten by the full-text search query.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Execute an 'advanced search'
2. Click on some column headings to establish a sort order cookie
3. Execute a 'find a specific bug' query
4. Re-execute the 'advanced search' from step (1)

Actual Results:  
Advanced search results are sorted by bug id

Expected Results:  
Advanced search results should be sorted by the order established in step (2)

After step (3), the LASTORDER cookie has the value "relevance%20desc".

I think the whole interface to the search order could use some work.

Either this should respect the search order or, if there is a reason (such as relevence ranking) that it should have its own, it should leave the cookie unperturbed.

I don't think I'd be rushing to fix it (priorities), but it sounds like it should be fixed.
