bug with getCategories query in the graphql interface?

[shc023]

I'm trying to use the where param in a getCategories query to get a list of "sub categories" under a parent category. But when I did
{where: { "parent.slug": { $eq: "parent"}}} it did not retrieve anything. I thought it should've worked because in the Swell doc for Product queries it had an example using where with 'attributes.material' as the look-up key.

I did test with just {where: { "slug": { $eq: "blah"}}} (with no parent. and that worked fine and found a thing, so I'm pretty sure my project's setup correctly.

Similarly for getCategories, I tried passing in a sort param and wasn't able to get it to work as expected. I tried using sort: "name asc", sort: "name:asc", sort: "name ASC" etc. and nothing changed any sort ordering. Is it documented somewhere how to use these params?

1. Fetching the categories by parent/child is a limitation in the current graphQL implementation.
   a. You can either fetch category by id or slug value.
2. sort param in categories() is not working as expected. Let me look deeper into this issue and get back to you if I get some updates.
