Sorting

Remult’s RESTful API also supports server-side sorting. Let’s sort the list of tasks by their title.

useEffect(() => {
  taskRepo
    .find({
      orderBy: {
        title: 'asc',
      },
    })
    .then(setTasks)
}, [])

Code Explanation

• We update the useEffect hook to use the find method with sorting options.
• The orderBy option specifies the field to sort by and the sort direction (asc for ascending, desc for descending).
• The sorting is performed on the server, which means the server sorts the data before sending it back to the client.

This code results in the following REST API request: /api/tasks?_sort=createdAt&_order=asc
