Rest API, How to getChildren and orderBy a properties

[danny36]

Hello,

I need if possibile to order a list of nodes returned from getChildren api call by one of a properties.

In the rest api doc it is not mentioned.

thanks.

Did you try the "orderBy" parameter?

https://api-explorer.alfresco.com/api-explorer/#/nodes/listNodeChildren

[danny36]

in the doc the available orderBy fields are:

• isFolder
• name
• mimeType
• nodeType
• sizeInBytes
• modifiedAt
• createdAt
• modifiedByUser
• createdByUser

but I need to order by a property inside "properties"

This is working for me:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/8bb36efb-c26d-4d2b-9199-ab6922f53c28/children?skipCount=0&maxItems=100&orderBy=cm%3Atitle

I guess you can use the same approach with your custom property name wbase%3AcognomeRubrica

yes it works!

I think it is a serious shortcoming that such an important thing is not indicated in the documentation.

Anyway thanks!!!
