[ML] Remove deprecated sort from reindex operation (#117606) (#117730)

Sort in reindex is deprecated. This PR removes its use from within the reindexing step of dataframe analytics.

Testing indicates that having the destination index sorted is a "nice to have" and not necessary for the DFA functionality to succeed.
