Issue

Prerequisites:

Create a few different products with the same price.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run the following GraphQL query:

    
    {
      products(filter: {category_id: {eq: "{{cat_id}}"}}, sort: {relevance: ASC}) {
        total_count
        items {
          name
          sku
        }
      }
    }
    
    

2. Check the response.
3. Change the sort order from ASC to DESC in the GraphQL query:

    
    {
      products(filter: {category_id: {eq: "{{cat_id}}"}}, sort: {relevance: DESC}) {
        total_count
        items {
          name
          sku
        }
      }
    }
    
    

4. Check the response.

Expected results:

The product listing in the GraphQL response should be changed according to the sort order.

Actual results:

The sort order remains unchanged.
