feat(task-filters): enhance sorting functionality and localization updates

- Added sorting options to task filters, including clear sort, sort ascending, sort descending, and sort by field. - Updated localization files for multiple languages (Albanian, German, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese) to include new sorting terms. - Implemented a SortDropdown component for improved user experience in task management. - Integrated sorting state management in the task management slice for better data handling.
