Issue

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add any three options to the existing color attribute.

2. Create six simple products with options (Example: Option 1: 1 product, Option 2: 2 products, Option 3: 3 products).

3. Create a category and assign all the products created above.

4. Now make the following GraphQL request with your category id:

   
    {
      products(
        filter: { category_id: { eq: "3" } }
        pageSize: 200
        currentPage: 1
        sort: { name: ASC }
      ) {
        aggregations {
          attribute_code
          count
          label
          options {
            count
            label
            value
          }
        }
        items {
          name
          sku
          url_key
        }
      }
    }
    

5. Now alter the sort order of attribute options from the attribute edit page in the Admin.

6. Make the above GraphQL request again, and observe the color attribute options.

Expected results:

The attribute options are sorted according to the order set from the Admin.

Actual results:

The attribute options are always sorted according to the associated number of products.
