[react-search-ui] setSort not working, Sorting not working

[craquet]

Describe the bug
The SearchContext of react-search-ui provides a method called setSort to sort the results. It provides a signature for setting the sorting like this:

search.driver.setSort("field", "asc") // Version 1

and like this:

search.driver.setSort([{ field: "field", direction: "asc" }], "asc") // Version 2

There are two problems here

1. When specifying the sort using Version 1, it does not work (does nothing, as described in Can't get sorting to work #932 , which is closed but not fixed)
2. When specifying the sort using Version 2, the second parameter ("asc") is obsolete and should not have to be specified. Though I assume it has no effect anyways.

To Reproduce

Expose the search context to the window object and try the above methods using the browser console. Using Version 1 will update the state, but will not issue a new search. Version 2 works, although the method signature is wrong.

Also See #932 as this issue also applies here (the Sorting component does not work).

Expected behavior
Version 1 and Version 2 as outlined above should work as expected and issue a new search with the correct sorting.

The Sorting component should behave as expected and issue a new search when a sort option is selected.
