Song Select

Fix incorrect ordering of items at song select when certain sort modes are used (#25888 by @peppy)

This is quite an unfortunate one, but I can't see a good way of fixing beyond undoing most of the performance gains from the last major release when certain sort modes (like difficulty sort) are used.

If you have a large library and want best search performance, use a simple sort mode for now (ie. artist or title). We'll iterate on this once things calm down.
