Healpix sorting behavior is ambiguous

[smcguire-cmu]

We allow sorting of the HealpixPixel class with the default data class behavior (first sorting by order, then pixel). I think it's probably more useful to have sorting by higher order pixel number, and I think there are a few instances in the codebase where this behavior is expected and pixel sorting is used incorrectly.

We have a hats.get_pixel_argsort method that will sort by higher order. This is already used in a handful of places in LSDB. Are there specific locations where we're using an incorrect sorting?

I think I was actually misreading the code where I thought this was a problem, sorry! I'm still not sure I particularly like the idea of HealpixPixels being ordered, that at least when I saw the uses of it after a while, I assumed the behavior was sorting by the healpix_29 of the pixels, not order then pixel. But that might just be a me problem, and if other people like it we can just close this issue.
