Not sure if this is related to the recent issues with the users search API or not, but I used to be able to make a users query and specify a field from the user_metadata as a sort criterion (e.g. “user_metadata.first_name:1”), but now that query, even just in the API explorer, is throwing a 503 erro…

Per the incident report for the issue mentioned in the OP: Sorting (sort=...) is not working but we are working on a fix that should be deployed in the following days.
