Reference field sortDir and sortField are being overridden somewhere

[ulikus]

cannot get them to work
here is the code snippet,

login.editionView()
    .fields([
        nga.field('username'),
        nga.field('password'),
        nga.field('user', 'reference')
            .perPage(10)
            .sortDir("ASC")
            .sortField("nickname")
            .label('User')
            .targetEntity(user)
            .targetField(nga.field('nickname'))
    ]);

but the actual request is sent with "id" and "DESC"
i guess its a bug?

I found that you can specify the (default) .sortField('xxx') in the listView() creation. This appears to work across all views for that entity.

The following should (hopefully) work for you.

user.listView()
    .fields([
        ...
    ])
    .sortDir("ASC")
    .sortField("nickname");

I don't know why the field specification doesn't apply the sortField() correctly.
