ThreatsDataViews: Sort by status and severity by default

[dkmyta]

Fixes #
When viewing all threats, we default to sorting by severity. If we have an extensive history of critical severity threats, and current threats that are high or low severity, the current threats can only be found at the very end.

Note: It appears there is no way to apply custom sorting logic such as this to the baseView, only a single field can be sorted asc or desc.

Proposed changes:

• Updating sorting of the processedData to sort by status first, then severity within the subsets.
• Show Status field by default when item.status is accessible (scan threats) so its clear the status of the threats we are viewing when viewing all.
