Featured first argument bug

[Gnodesign]

Issue: #2675

Describe the bug
This feature performs as intended until the filters are deactivated. In such cases, the ordering reverts to its default behavior, disregarding the featured_first argument.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a page with the shortcode [jobs orderby="ID" featured_first="true" order="DESC" show_filters="true"]
2. Visit the page and you can see that it works as expected.
3. Edit the jobs page and disable the filters: [jobs orderby="ID" featured_first="true" order="DESC" show_filters="false"]
4. Visit the page, and you can see the featured job listings are not shown on top as expected.

Expected behavior
The featured_first functionality should operate seamlessly in both scenarios, whether search filters are applied or not.

Isolating the problem (mark completed items with an [x]):

• I have deactivated other plugins and confirmed this bug occurs when only WP Job Manager plugin is active.
• This bug happens with a default WordPress theme active.
• I can reproduce this bug consistently using the steps above.

WordPress Environment

• WordPress Version: 6.4.2
• WP Job Manager Version: 2.2.0
• PHP Version: 8.0.30
