Craft 4 sorting issue: Change "Sort By" in in entry modal browser when searching for entries

[arifje]

So when I use "Link to an entry" in a description field, it shows a entry browsing modal. When I fill in a search keyword, it automatically seems to set Sort By to "Score". In our case (large database, 60.000+ entries, 400.000 elements, this results in a very slow query, taking 25-50 seconds to complete:

SELECT * FROM searchindex WHERE ((keywords LIKE '% test%')) AND (siteId=1) AND (elementId IN (SELECT elements.id FROM (SELECT elements.id AS elementsId, elements_sites.id AS elementsSitesId, content.id AS contentId FROM elements elements INNER JOIN entries entries ON entries.id = elements.id INNER JOIN elements_sites elements_sites ON elements_sites.elementId = elements.id INNER JOIN content content ON (content.elementId = elements.id) AND (content.siteId = elements_sites.siteId) WHERE (entries.sectionId=1) AND (elements_sites.siteId=1) AND (elements.archived=FALSE) AND (elements.dateDeleted IS NULL) AND (NOT ((elements_sites.uri IS NULL) OR (elements_sites.uri=''))) AND (elements.draftId IS NULL) AND (elements.revisionId IS NULL)) subquery INNER JOIN elements elements ON elements.id = subquery.elementsId INNER JOIN elements_sites elements_sites ON elements_sites.id = subquery.elementsSitesId INNER JOIN entries entries ON entries.id = subquery.elementsId INNER JOIN content content ON content.id = subquery.contentId))

When I change Sorting to "Post Date", the query takes +/- 5 seconds. I can't find a way to force/fix this setting to post date; after I select post date and close the model, this sort filter is reset.

Would be really nice to have a way to set this sort default to post date or another field, instead of score.
