Change the order by which testimonials appear on the profile page

Right now the testimonials in the testimonials page appear to show up in ascending order of date (oldest to newest).

This means that the first page of testimonials will always show the same ones, and since they are the oldest, arguably the lesser relevant ones.

My suggestion would be to reverse the order by which they appear, so the first page would show the newest testimonials and the other pages the older ones, keeping the content on the first page relevant and fresh (if the mentor is active).

Is this solved? Or just not pushed?

I saw the testimonials not on that page were sorted from newest to oldest order. But the testimonial page is still not sorted in that way (and seems to be arbitrarily sorted).

To be sure:

https://exercism.org/mentoring/testimonials

seems to be reverse chronological order while

https://exercism.org/<person>/testimonials

Seems to have an arbitrary order.

The PR is still open.
