Fix action column in deactivated users table.

Currently when admin chooses to reactivate user from Actions column in deactivated users table and then clicks on any other column it shows action as unknown (sometimes it shows yesterday, or a date).

The values like unknown, yesterday or date are actually the last_active_date values for that user.

The UI is rendered in a way such that, as soon as the user gets active the last_active_date is also shown in the table. That's why when we are reactivating and applying any filter, the components gets refreshed and we are seeing those values.

How do you want me to proceed?

• Add last_active_date column in deactivated users table, just like users table, or
• Remove that last_active_date value even after the user is reactivated.

Let's do this -- thanks for checking.

Remove that last_active_date value even after the user is reactivated.

@alya There is one issue in users table, which is similar to deactivated users table.

On deactivation, since the user isn't active, after sorting, the components gets refreshed and last_active_date isn't shown.

I think it would be best to continue showing the last active time. I guess second best would be to show something like Unknown, and of course the UI in result in your screenshot does not work.
