Support for "order by" clause in Saved Queries from Maximo JSON API

Maximo allows users to create saved queries that include "ORDER BY" statements at the end of the where clause. For example, you can create a saved query in Work Order Tracking that has a where clause of "WHERE istask=0 and status='COMP' ORDER BY statusdate desc". When running that saved query in Maximo, the results will come back with the data sorted accordingly to the ORDER BY clause in the saved query. If that same saved query was run using the JSON API, an error would occur. For example: GET /maximo/oslc/os/mxapiwodetail?lean=1&oslc.pageSize=10&oslc.select=*&savedQuery=WOTRACK:OWNER+IS+ME ... would result in the following error: BMXAA9757E - Error executing the request. Check the request parameters to verify parameter value format. We believe that the Maximo UI and the Maximo JSON API should behave the same. If putting an ORDER BY clause in the saved query's where clause is supported in the UI, then it should be supported when running the same query in the JSON API.
