how do you construct a user overview while respecting sort? (lemmy.ml)

I just implemented a user overview of mixed posts and comments, but I'm unsure how to do so while respecting sort (hot, new, old, etc.). Currently I merge the user's comments and posts into a list, then sort them all by timestamp.

Because sorting is handled on the server, and merging posts/comments happens after, I can't see how I can't respect sort and still merge the two sets. Does anyone have any pointers?

I expect a similar issue would arise for the unified inbox view also (replies, mentions, and private messages), although in that case there's less need to sort by anything other than recency.

EDIT: here's the relevant ts code in the official lemmy ui. it sorts by date if sort is new, which i already do, then otherwise it just sorts by "score".

maybe it can't be done? I think Jerboa doesn't implement, but i thought the web UI did...
