Paginator Error

Thanks, but looks to me as an bug. I have baked all controller, model and templates and without any changes from my side the error occures. It is cake 5.2.10. A short example:
public function userMembers($id = null) {

    $names = $this->request->getParam('pass');



    $query = $this->Users->find()

            ->where(\['member LIKE' => '%' . $names\[0\] . '%'\])

            ->order(\['username' => 'ASC'\]);

           

     $users = $this->paginate($query);        

    $this->set(compact('users'));

    $this->set('group', $names);

}
        <thead>

            <tr>

                <th><?= $this->Paginator->sort('Users.id') ?></th>

                <th><?= $this->Paginator->sort('Users.username') ?></th>

                <th><?= $this->Paginator->sort('Users.phone') ?></th>

                <th><?= $this->Paginator->sort('Users.email') ?></th>

                <th><?= $this->Paginator->sort('Users.city') ?></th>

            </tr>

        </thead>

without the header, the template runs correct. Any suggestion?? Kinde regards klaus
