Http 400 error on Item Search with SortBy specified

[juliayun23]

We are using stac-browser on top of stac-fastapi. Recently during testing, I noticed that when doing item search, if I specify an option (any option apart from Default) in "Sort" dropdown list, it returns 400

The response is:

{
    "code": "RequestValidationError",
    "description": "[{'loc': ('body', 'sortby'), 'msg': 'value is not a valid list', 'type': 'type_error.list'}]"
}

It can be reproduced here: https://radiantearth.github.io/stac-browser/#/search/external/planetarycomputer.microsoft.com/api/stac/v1/

Happy to submit a PR if this is confirmed as a bug.

Yes, this is a bug.

STAC Browser sends:
"sortby":"properties.title"

It should be:

    "sortby": [
        {
            "field": "properties.title",
            "direction": "asc"
        }
    ]

A PR would be very welcome.
