 /rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-users-controller.php#L1548-L1555 Allowed
 orderby params in users endpoint]

 compared to

 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/4a3240eb8f4be840ad495302d66f2329d0827179/src/wp-includes
 /class-wp-user-query.php#L194-L209 Supported orderby params in
 `WP_Users_Query`]

 The rest endpoint is missing support for ordering by
 - 'user_login' (or 'login')
 - 'post_count'
 - 'meta_value',
 - 'meta_value_num'
 - 'login__in'

 I don't know how complex the meta would be, nor do I fully understand what
 `login__in` actually does, but for sure the endpoint is missing the
 ability to order by the user's login/username which can be different from
 the nicename.
