Very excited to see @blake and @designbygio’s work in making the user lists in Admin sortable. One small critique is that there is no indication that the columns are clickable. On a similar table that can be sorted (like `/users`), when hovering on a clickable (sortable) column, the mouse becomes a pointer, and the header - button - gains a grey color.

For clarity, as well as consistency, it’d be very nice if similar visual queues were used on the Admin lists.

@jomaxro here is the PR with the fixed. I also try to re-modernize a bit the look following /users table style.

One more item I noticed @designbygio, the icon indicating sorting seems to default to the `seen` column for all views, but not all views default to sort by `seen`. Both `/new` and `/staff` appear to sort on `created`, and I’m not sure what `/suspended`, `/blocked`, and `/suspect` sort on as there aren’t enough users on any of my sites to deduce it.
