remove sort_field option?

[rahulbot]

Right now you can sort by publication_date or indexed_date. @philbudne suggests on slack that "I'm having trouble imagining how any sort order other than indexed_date alone could work (unless there is a hidden, monotonic id)... Both _id and published_date orderings of documents are unstable: new documents can appear at any point in the ordering at any time, no?".

So should we remove the sort_field="publication_date" option since it doesn't return stable results? Someone using results for analysis can always re-sort things themselves once they have data... this is about making sure we return all matching results while paging through stories.

I'm still confused as to why this only appeared with the recent change to the publication_date schema- but I'm not opposed to the removal. I feel like I would intuitively expect things to be sorted by publication_date, given that it's a part of the query- so we could even optionally re-sort in the api-client or in providers ourselves, to save potential consumer confusion
