REST API: Sorting messages by replies count works incorrectly

The search all you are making is not sorting by number of replies (in fact, I don't believe we have a way to sort search results by number of replies).  I believe the sort_by=-replies sorts the results by most recent comment, and since you specified search_type=thread (you are only searching for threads), this gives you all threads with your search term, sorted by thread with the most recent replies.
