## Description
This PR fixes the issue where the saved `order_by` value for the
conversation list is not being applied. The feature was originally added
in PR https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/pull/8237 but broke after
merging the Vue 3 migration PR
https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/pull/10047
Fixes
https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-4110/not-using-the-saved-sort-order-by-option-from-ui-settings
**Cause of the Issue:**
The previous implementation checked `orderBy` against the keys of the
sorting constants instead of their values. Since `orderBy` stores a
sorting value, this caused the condition to fail, leading to fallback to
the default sorting option.
**Solution:**
The fix ensures that `orderBy` is validated against the values of the
sorting constants rather than the keys. This correctly applies the saved
sorting preference, while still falling back to the default if needed.
