Query Order By with Meta Key is not using fallback by default with frontend rendering

Bugs
1

Description:

When using filters to sort a query, we are specifying fallback’s for the default behaviour when no filter has been selected.

These are not applying and the default sort is being used.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions:

  1. Open the Post Editor/Site Editor
  2. Create a Posts Query
  3. Add filters including a field for the meta key (e.g. “orderby”) and a field for the sort direction (e.g. “direction”)
  4. Specify the fallback’s for each of these
  5. Note they are not applied by default when no filter has been explicitly selected

@Louis, just checking on the status of this as the current workaround for it is fragile and clunky and only practical short-term, so we will be really grateful when this is working correctly.
