Descending sort of Elasticsearch results with PHP API

Using the Elasticsearch PHP API to do an ascending sort is simple:

$params['sort'] = array('updated_at');

However I found performing a descending sort much less intuitive. Eventually I figured out it should be:

$params['sort'] = array('updated_at:desc');

Thanks for this. I was wrongfully doing it with:

$params[‘sort’] = [‘updated_at’ => ‘desc’];
