Sorting response data
Use the order request parameter to specify sort criteria for one attribute in a list of resources returned by a collection query.
The order parameter works like an SQL Order By clause. You can specify one of these sort orders for the attribute:
● asc: (Default) Sorts the response data in ascending order.
● desc: Sorts the response data in descending order.
Sorting is case insensitive for any property called name.
Syntax
As the first parameter on the request URI: ?order=<order_expr>
As a subsequent parameter on the request URI: &order=<order_expr>
where <order_expr> is defined by the following syntax:
prop_expr1[.asc|.desc],[prop_expr2[.asc|.desc]...
where:
● prop_expr1 and prop_expr2 are attribute names that are defined for the resource being queried.
● asc and desc are case insensitive.
Retrieving values for all alerts, sorted by state
The following request retrieves values for the id, description, and alert_state attributes for all alert instances and sorts
this information by alert_state in ascending order.
