Order parameter not functional

Question

Consider these two API calls:

• http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/questions?pagesize=1&sort=votes&order=desc
• http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/questions?pagesize=1&sort=votes&order=asc

They're the same except for the order parameter. However, the same thing is returned (even for greater values of pagesize) -- it seems questions are always ordered descending.

Answer 1

This should be fixed now. order should be respected on any method that takes a sort.

Answer 2

Order does nothing for /questions, /questions/tagged/{tags} and /questions/unanswered. I think this is by design, but now that I think about it I don't know why the order parameter is listed in the documentation for them (other than consistency with everything else that takes sort).
