Title: [#33685] Featured article order now orders by a tertiary date

In the com_content artticle category blog, the featured articles order is "a.featured DESC, fp.ordering". This orders the featured articles correctly, and places the non-featured articles below. However, there is no ordering supplied for the non-featured articles.

I'd suggest a logical tertiary ordering is using the "date for ordering", thus supporting the use of features as forum-like sticky articles.

Changing to "a.featured DESC, fp.ordering, ' . $queryDate . ' DESC '".
