Regression: (committee-report) list not sorted by updateDate

[ryparker]

The sorting fix from #224 appears to have regressed. The /committee-report list endpoint is returning results in inconsistent order again.

Example

GET https://api.congress.gov/v3/committee-report/119?format=json&limit=250

Response contains items where index 1 has updateDate: 2025-05-27T14:11:18Z and index 2 has updateDate: 2025-10-09T00:11:25Z.

This violates descending order (October 2025 should come before May 2025).

Expected Behavior

Results should be sorted by updateDate descending.

Observed On

• Date: 2026-01-31
• Endpoint: /v3/committee-report/{congress}
• Congress: 119

Hi @ryparker - we had to do some changes on this endpoint, so the default sort is by the committee report ID ascending. However, I see what you are saying and the optional sort by update date is not working properly. I'll investigate and make a ticket. Thanks!
