Sorting 

The order section configures which columns can be used for sorting and the default sort order.

Configuration 

'order' => [
    'allowed' => ['title', 'uid'],       // columns allowed for sorting
    'default' => ['uid' => 'asc'],       // fallback when no order is requested
],

Key Description
allowed Array of column names that the client is permitted to sort by.
default Associative array of column => direction pairs used when the client does not provide an order parameter. Direction can be asc or desc.

Usage 

Sorting is controlled via the order query parameter:

GET /_api/articles?order[title]=asc
GET /_api/articles?order[uid]=desc
Copied!

Only columns listed in allowed are accepted. If the client requests an unsupported column, the default order is used instead.
