Question: I guess that sort_by is a list because we want to be able to define a different sort type for the different type of relations?

Yes, as relations have a separate object list in the response

Question: Does this mean that the EDITION_RELATION can only be sorted by edition, LANGUAGE_RELATION only by language and OTHER_RELATION by other?

Yes!
Do we want the ability to sort by another field apart from the relation type?

this is a breaking change in the class interface, did you test all the possible occurences?

in addition: I think the sort should be somewhat defined per relation type (maybe config of relation types?) not as an argument of the function - we risk the list of arguments growing infinitely

This might not good enough: we might be sorting too late, sorting the results of what was retrieved from the db, queried with a default sorting.
If this is what we want to do, then it might better to have the client, consuming the REST API response, to sort the results.
If instead we want to drive the sorting from the backend, then the sorting param should be applied to the db query.
However, this is very tricky, due to the nature of data stored as JSON blob.

Discussed IRL, decision to be taken.

Setting mutable parameters is in general considered as bad practice, since we can change it on a runtime - especially in this case it is configuration so we don't want to allow for changes
❤️ Thank you for your contribution!
