   * Sorts an array of objects based on a specified key and sort type.

   * @param array - The array of objects to be sorted. Each object should implement the `ISortServiceValues` interface.
   * @param config - The configuration object containing the key to sort by and the sort type (ascending or descending).
   * @returns The sorted array of objects.
   *
   * @remarks
   * - If the input array is not an array or the config key is not provided, the original array is returned.
   * - The `sortType` can be either 'ascending' or 'descending'.
   *
   * @example
   * ```typescript
   * const array = [
   *   { name: 'Alice', age: 30 },
   *   { name: 'Bob', age: 25 },
   * ];
   * const config = { key: 'age', sortType: 'ascending' };
   * const sortedArray = getObjects(array, config);
   * // sortedArray will be:
   * // [
   * //   { name: 'Bob', age: 25 },
   * //   { name: 'Alice', age: 30 },
   * // ]
