Module search sorting seems to have changed [#1825414]

It seems that the behavior of the module search screen (https://drupal.org/project/modules) has changed, and I don't think it's correct. The sort field used to default to "Most Installed". I often changed this to "Relevancy" as I found that more useful. Now, when I first access the screen, "Relevancy" is the default, and I can't get it to change to "Most Installed." It switches back to Relevancy when I click Submit. I've deleted cookies and tried it in both Chrome and Firefox to make sure it wasn't something local.

Lots of solr-related stuff broke as a result of #1793968: Deploy Apache Solr Search Integration 6.x-3.x. I don't have time to investigate this one closely. However, those pages are provided by the project_solr module, so I'm moving this to a place where the maintainers will probably see it.

I believe this is caused by the logic at http://drupalcode.org/project/project_solr.git/blob/refs/heads/6.x-3.x:/...

If I recall correctly, the intent was to switch to relevancy as a default when text is entered, so you wouldn't get the same top modules for common words. This needs some work.

If we do anything, it should be JS updating the form, and this logic always respecting the form values. We can leave out the JS for now, or skip it entirely.

Moving to D7. I'm not sure that this is major enough to be fixed while we are still on D6.
