Describe the question in detail

English is not my native language; please excuse typing errors.

When I query logs without using the sort function, I get 10 logs. I expect that when I use the sort function, I will also get 10 logs, just in a different order. However, I only get 1 log result with my query when I use the sort function.

@valyala see in implementation that sort relies on topk in case if limit precedes sort. Is this behaviour expected?
