API - Sort Order

Developer Experience
1

How do I tell the API what I would like to sort by? Also which direction to sort by?

You provide a columns parameter, which has a name for all the columns you want to order by

e.g.

?columns[][name]=layout

You then provide an order parameter, which contains a set of sort orders, referencing the keys in the columns parameter - e.g.

&order[][column]=1&order[][dir]=desc

Dan,

Thank you for the reply. I think I can figure that out.

Can this information be added to the documentation? Or is it already, and I just don’t know where to look?

I’ve added it to the bug which talks about these “grid” parameters being added to the docs.

Media Type seems to be different somehow. I get a server error with it. I see that it is possible in the CMS. Any insight on sorting by media type?

Edit:

Found that Media Type should be “mediatype”, and Name should be “Name”
