REST API: Sorting messages by replies count works incorrectly

Hello guys,   It seems that sorting by replies count works incorrectly, I use the following request:   http://%Community Name%.stage.lithium.com/restapi/vc/categories/id/%Category Id%/search/mes...

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.

Hello DougS,

Thank you for your response!
By the way could you please recommend me articles or something else where I can find documentation about search sort types?
