[BUG] Incorrect sorting of reviews on the Recent reviews by %username% page

[Korb]

Expected Behavior

When you are on a user's reviews page and select any of the Sort by drop-down list values (Helpful, Date, Rating, Helpful, Funny, Length, Visibility, Playtime, or Awards), the reviews are sorted according to the selected criterion, no matter how many hundreds or thousands of them there are.

Actual Behavior

Sorting is broken.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Open https://steamcommunity.com/id/…/recommended/ (in my case, the page displays 1296 Products reviewed)
2. Select the Helpful option and sort from largest to smallest.
3. (A pop-up message Processing... Please wait appears for a while.)
4. The displayed review sequence is:
   • No one has rated this review as helpful yet
   • No one has rated this review as helpful yet
   • No one has rated this review as helpful yet
   • No one has rated this review as helpful yet
   • No one has rated this review as helpful yet
   • 1 person found this review helpful
   • 1 person found this review helpful
   • 1 person found this review helpful
   • 1 person found this review helpful
   • 1 person found this review helpful
   • 1 person found this review helpful
   • 2 people found this review helpful
   • 1 person found this review helpful

   • No one has rated this review as helpful yet
   • No one has rated this review as helpful yet
   • No one has rated this review as helpful yet
   • No one has rated this review as helpful yet
   • …

Sorting result by decreasing Length (characters without line endings):

• 144
• 607
• 622
• 273
• 5097
• 405
• …

I can't seem to be able to replicate that. What profile are you checking?

Doesn't seem to be relevant to reviews or anything that AS is doing, those are Steam errors
