Collection APIs support sorting. You can use Field Names for the collection's response to create sorting criteria in the query.

$orderBy=fieldName <direction>

  • Where direction is asc (default) for ascending order or desc for descending order.
  • Multiple sort fields are supported (comma separated).
    • fieldName1 asc, fieldName2 desc

Null values are sorted as if they are larger than any non-null value, meaning they will come last in asc sorts.

If filtering criteria is defined, use the ampersand & to delimit the sort criteria.

$filter=fieldName1 eq 'abc'&$orderBy=fieldName2

If an invalid sort field or direction is provided, the data will be returned with the default sort, as if no sorting was specified.
