Add integration test for the sort dropdown preserving its selection after a page refresh

[Chucks1093]

Summary

The active sort option is persisted in the URL query string so the page is shareable. An integration test should confirm that loading the page with a sort param pre-set in the URL initialises the dropdown to the correct selection and fetches with that sort param immediately.

Scope

• Load the creator discovery page with ?sort=price in the URL
• Assert the sort dropdown displays Price as the selected option
• Assert the initial API request includes sort=price
• Assert the list renders results matching the price-sorted API response

Acceptance Criteria

• Dropdown initialised to the correct option from the URL param
• Initial API fetch uses the sort param from the URL
• List renders results consistent with the selected sort
• Dropdown shows default option when no sort param is in the URL

ETA: 12 hours
