Fix "Newest Added" sort using wrong array index (24 → 23)

The client-side sort for "Newest Added" was referencing index 24 of the
tire data array, but created_at lives at index 23. This caused every
comparison to compare empty strings, making the sort a no-op. Bump to
v1.17.1.

+### Fixed
+- **"Newest Added" sort broken** — The client-side "Newest Added" sort option was reading from the wrong array index (24 instead of 23), causing it to compare empty values and effectively not sort at all. Tires now correctly sort by `created_at` descending.
