"Not working" could mean anything: the codes crashes, it runs but
nothing is sorted, sorting occurs but is different from what you expect,
your computer caught on fire, etc.
Before anybody can answer your question, they'll need to understand the
problem you are experiencing.

I doubt that this is your real code. You never define "sortby" in this
method, so the code would just fail one the last line. Best to ensure
your short example (and it's great that you have a short example) at
least runs without syntax errors so that we are all talking about the
same code.
