Sets sort direction on a field value for a content query.

Note: for fields of some field types order will vary per search engine. This comes from the different way of storing IDs in the search backend, and therefore relates to the field types that store ID value for sorting (Relation field type). For Legacy search engine IDs are stored as integers, while with Solr search engine they are stored as strings. In that case the difference will be basically the one between numerical and alphabetical order of sorting.

This reflects API definition of IDs as mixed type (integer or string).
