When fetching multiple entries with the Hygraph Content API, you can use the orderBy argument to define the order of returned records. You can order results by all System Fields and any non-relational custom field defined in your model, either ascending ([fieldName]_ASC) or descending ([fieldName]_DESC). Only one input type can be used with orderBy per query.

When fetching multiple entries you can use the orderBy argument to define the order of the returned records.
You can order results by all System Fields, and any non-relational custom field you define in your model, either ascending, or descending.
| Input Type | Description |
|---|---|
[fieldName]_ASC | Order results by fieldName ascending. |
[fieldName]_DESC | Order results by fieldName descending. |
You can only use one inputType with orderBy to order results.
You can use the orderBy with two-way references.
One-way references and union-type relations are not supported.
For example, let's imagine our post has a authors relation. The same orderBy rules apply.
{posts {idcreatedAtrelatedPosts(orderBy: createdAt_DESC) {idcreatedAt}}}
