joplin ls --sort title does not sort notes by title in CLI v1.8.1

[brianwisti]

I think this worked in v1.6.x. I only discovered the --sort flag this morning, and then noticed my terminal installation of Joplin needed updating.

Environment

Joplin version: v1.8.1
Platform: Linux, terminal
OS specifics: Windows WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04

Steps to reproduce

1. joplin mkbook sort-bug
2. joplin mknote A
3. joplin mknote B
4. joplin ls --sort title

Describe what you expected to happen

$ joplin ls --sort title
A
B

Actual output

$ joplin ls --sort title
B
A

Logfile

The sequence used during a debug terminal UI session:

1. joplin --debug --log-level debug
2. :use sort-bug
3. :ls
4. :ls --sort title
5. :exit
