Hi,

I’ve been using the search REST API with Nexus Repo 3.24.0-02 (OSS), searching for component, sorting by version and it works well : results are displayed by version descended, by default.

I upgraded to the latest 3.25.0-03 (still OSS), and the search results are not sorted anymore, even when forcing the “direction=desc” parameter.

Could you check that this is not a regression?  
Thanks!
