The query parameter 'sort' does not work properly on the seasonal anime endpoint when the value is set to 'anime_score'. It should return the title sorted by score in descending order but it doesn't.

example

api call: https://api.myanimelist.net/v2/anime/season/2018/winter?limit=100&fields=num_list_users,mean&sort=anime_score

result:
TITLE  -  SCORE
Gintama.: Shirogane no Tamashii-hen - 8.81
3-gatsu no Lion 2nd Season - 8.95
Douluo Dalu - 7.86
One Piece - 8.65
Overlord: Ple Ple Pleiades 2 - 6.83
Wan Jie Xian Zong - 7.33
Chibi Maruko-chan (1995) - 7.27
Zoku Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru - 7.31
Ling Qi 2 - 7.5
.........

The results are clearly not in order.
Setting sort=anime_num_list_users works fine instead
