Description

The behavior of mediaItems.search is inconsistent with the developer documentation

Detailed description

The documentation states that orderBy works with any search request that include a DateFilter.

However, when attempting a search that includes a combination of a DateFilter, a ContentFilter and a MediaTypeFilter I see:

• a successful result if omitting orderBy
• a 400 with message when including orderBy

API calls

mediaItems.search

Steps to reproduce the problem

call mediaItems.search with the following parameters

{"pageSize":100,"filters":{"contentFilter":{"includedContentCategories":["PEOPLE"]},"mediaTypeFilter":{"mediaTypes":["PHOTO"]},"dateFilter":{"ranges":[{"startDate":{"year":2023,"month":1,"day":0},"endDate":{"year":2023,"month":3,"day":0}}]}},"orderBy":"MediaMetadata.creation_time"}

What is the expected output?

A list of results similar to that obtained when making the same request without the orderBy field.

What do you see instead?

400 response with "Searching for items in chronological order only works with DateFilter."
