Add rate limiting for sorting

**Problem**
When working with controllers, the error messages could be more descriptive.

**Suggestion**
Improve error handling and add detailed error messages.

**Context**
This would help with debugging and maintenance.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the controller code that handles sorting and its error handling, then clarify whether the goal is rate limiting, more descriptive errors, or both; done should be defined by the requested behavior and corresponding verification.
