org-agenda-sorting-strategy bug? Cannot list deadline items before scheduled items.

With the following:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-agenda-sorting-strategy
      '((agenda time-up deadline-up scheduled-down ts-up habit-down priority-down category-keep)
        (todo priority-down category-keep)
        (tags priority-down category-keep)
        (search category-keep))
      org-agenda-sorting-strategy-selected
      '(time-up priority-down deadline-up scheduled-down ts-up habit-down category-keep))
#+end_src

The time-up is correctly shown first; however, all scheduled items are shown
next as opposed to all deadline items (the order should be the other way
around).

I found this issue on https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/fesdc1/orgagendasortingstrategy_bug_cannot_list_deadline/

I have this problem on my computer too.

Can you provide a more minimal configuration example, with the order
expected and the order you get?

As said in the reddit thread, the output of complex sorting strategies
can be confusing, so being minimal here is the way to go.

Thanks,
