The headline panel asked for one row and got one row, so nothing else could
ask this question. `nextToExpire` answers it for any count and `firstToExpire`
is now that function asked for one — one definition, so a big countdown and the
lines under it can never disagree about which deadline is next.
Unannounced ends still sort behind every dated one however long they have been
running: a panel of deadlines that leads with "unknown" is not a panel of
deadlines. It sorts a copy, because the array it is handed is the one the list
on screen is rendering from.
