LambdaDB allows you to add one or more sorts on specific fields. Each sort can be reversed as well. The sort is defined on a per field level.
Sorting can be done on the following data types:
  • long
  • double
  • datetime
  • keyword

​
Parameters

ParameterDescriptionTypeRequiredValues
fieldField name to sort bystring✓-
orderSort order directionstringasc, desc

​
Sort order options

ValueDescription
ascSorts in ascending order
descSorts in descending order

​
Usage

The sort parameter accepts an array of sort objects, allowing multiple field sorting with different orders. 
from lambdadb import LambdaDB

with LambdaDB(
    project_api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="YOUR_BASE_URL",
    project_name="YOUR_PROJECT_NAME",
) as client:
    coll = client.collection(collection_name)
    results = coll.query(
        query={"queryString": {"query": "*:*"}},
        size=10,
        sort=[{"field1": "desc"}, {"field2": "asc"}],
    )

​
Examples

​
Single field sort

Sort by timestamp in descending order (newest first): 
[{"timestamp": "desc"}]

​
Multiple field sort

Sort by priority (descending) first, then by created_at (ascending): 
[{"priority": "desc"}, {"created_at": "asc"}]
When multiple sort fields are specified, the sorting is applied in the order they appear in the array. Documents are first sorted by the first field, then by the second field for documents with the same first field value, and so on.
