Hi,

I am looking way to execute cat in the new Java client

```auto
GET _cat/aliases/bbb*/?format=json&s=is_write_index:desc

```

I found this way:

```auto
AliasesRequest request = AliasesRequest.of(ar -> ar.name(pattern));		
		
		var response = client.cat().aliases(request);
		
		return response.valueBody();

```

How can I add the following:  
s=is\_write\_index:desc
