sort and where liquid filters stopped working

[MichaelPetrinolis]

Describe the bug

After upgrading to OrchardCore 2 (STJ) the where and sort filters stopped working

{% assign hotActions = articleListItems
| where: "Content.HotActionsPart.AddtoHotActionsMenu.Value", true
| sort: "Content.HotActionsPart.Order.Value" %}

the above code used to work in OC 1.8

Orchard Core version

2.0.2

To Reproduce

create a liquid template and try filtering and sorting

Expected behavior

The array should contain the filtered elements, sorted

@MichaelPetrinolis what is the easiest way to repro? A shape template, a query? With a Boolean Field?

We triaged this issue and set the milestone according to the priority we think is appropriate (see the docs on how we triage and prioritize issues).

This indicates when the core team may start working on it. However, if you'd like to contribute, we'd warmly welcome you to do that anytime. See our guide on contributions here.

@sebastienros yes,a content item with a part that has two fields, one boolean and one numeric. We used the numeric for sorting and the bool for filtering. Also the items come from a query inside a liquid template for a shape.

@sebastienros I added some tests that reproduce the bug with 'sort' and 'where' liquid filters

So the issue looks like ordering on deserialized json. With all the automatic type conversion that was added since the switch it makes me a little sad. But the test will help a lot, thanks.
