Answer 1

if your orderBy value is not a variable pointing to another string but rather the attribute by which you'll be sorting, you must put it in quotes.

person in people | orderBy:'-id'

If, after you've parsed your int or float and are still not sorting correctly, it might be because of this. <:/ (that's my dunce cap)
