Does Yandex consider two URLs to be different if they differ in the order of the get parameters?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

A month ago, the url of a single page on the site was:
www.some_domain.ru/index.php?page=search&weight=10...
Then it changed to the following:
www.some_domain.ru/index.php?page=search&width=50&. ..
Swapped two parameters: "width" and "weight".
Does the Yandex search engine consider these to be different urls? Could this have led to a site drop in Yandex ranking? Do I need to take any action to fix the error, or will everything fix itself?

Answer 1

My assumption is that the url goes through normalization before indexing , according to which the query parameters are sorted; accordingly, two urls that differ in the order of parameters will be considered the same.

Answer 2

Of course, these are duplicate pages.
in the recommendations of Yandex it is said in simple language - each page has a unique url.
get is not get, and the addresses of the pages are different, which means duplicates, and most likely this factor has a negative impact on positions in the first place.
I don’t think that the search engine will think of it on its own, unless they help it.
but first of all, a specialist involved in this project should help her in this, for example, use the rel='canonical' tag, or completely close pages with get parameters from indexing (if they do not bring any benefit and they should not appear in the search results).

Answer 3

use canonical tag
