The sort parameter is not working for the content-elements API, not allowing developers to choose the field to sort by and the order. (The steps uses "title" as an example, the sort parameter should work on all the sortable fields).

 

Steps to reproduce

 

1.- Create a webContent with title "aContent"

2.- Upload a document with title "bDocument"

3.- Make a request to http://localhost:8080/o/headless-delivery/v1.0/sites/Guest/content-elements with sort=title:asc

 

Expected result

the server returns a list with "aContent" first and "bDocument" second.

 

4.- Make a request to http://localhost:8080/o/headless-delivery/v1.0/sites/Guest/content-elements with sort=title:desc

 

Expected result

the server returns a list with "bDocument" first and "aContent" second.

 

The current behavior is that the server returns the list in the same order in both cases, and not based in title but in dateCreated (that's why this bug does not have a "Current behavior" part because it depends on the creation order, not on the title.
