SortBy and SortOrder parameters ignored on /dwapi/query endpoint

Hi all,

I seem to be hitting a bug with the /dwapi/query endpoint where SortBy and SortOrder are ignored entirely.

Setup

Custom Content repository query called "Article list", no default sort configured on the query itself. Calling with SortBy=PageUpdatedDate&SortOrder=DESC.

The problem

The results come back sorted by _score (relevance) instead of the requested field and direction. The response envelope always says "sortOrder": "asc" regardless of input, and SortBy has no effect.

Request:

/dwapi/query?QueryName=Article+list&RepositoryName=Content&ParentPageIds=6928&SortBy=PageUpdatedDate&SortOrder=DESC&PageSize=6

Response (trimmed):

{
  "sortOrder": "asc",
  "results": [
    { "PageId": 6931, "_score": 4.79, "PageSort": 1, "PageUpdatedDate": "2026-03-24T20:47:40" },
    { "PageId": 6932, "_score": 4.79, "PageSort": 2, "PageUpdatedDate": "2026-03-24T20:48:11" },
    { "PageId": 6933, "_score": 4.79, "PageSort": 3, "PageUpdatedDate": "2026-03-24T20:48:46" }
  ]
}
