 Quickly discussed in the design channel on Slack. Now that the comments
 column in the List Tables is going under a design (and accessibility)
 review, see #32152 a reordering issue is getting more noticeable. Please
 see the screenshot below: when reordering by comments count, the order is
 by "approved" comments and that doesn't look right:

 It's a bit weird, visually, that the cell with "no comments" comes before
 the cell with 1 pending comment.
 A more logic order by would be by "total comments count" meaning approved
 + pending. Also, the column header says "Comments" and doesn't specify if
 they're approved or pending ones, so ordering by total comments count
 maybe would make more sense.
