Github API sorting search results by the created_at field

How can I create a search query sorted by the created_at field? I've tried:

https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=blog&sort=created_at&order=desc

and

https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=blog&sort=created&order=desc

But I get the same results as this query:

https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=blog

In addition to what was written till now I found out here another way. That is:

https://api.github.com/users/<user name>/repos?sort=created&direction=desc

For example:

https://api.github.com/users/nadar71/repos?sort=created&direction=desc

The sort parameter only takes one of three values: stars, forks or updated:

The sort field. One of stars, forks, or updated. Default: results are sorted by best match.

It doesn't appear to be possible to sort by creation date, but you could read the response of the search query into an array and sort from there.
