gst-stats: sort latency by first activity before displaying

We use to display the latency of each element in random order which is
not very convenient when comparing latency between different runs.
Sort them by "first activity" (the first latency reported for each
element) so it's consistent betwen runs.

This is the same logic when sorting and displaying element stats.
