The Document Service API offers the ability to sort and paginate query results.

Sort#

To sort results returned by the Document Service API, include the sort parameter with queries.

Sort on a single field#

To sort results based on a single field:

const documents = await strapi.documents("api::article.article").findMany({
  sort: "title:asc",
});

[
  {
    "documentId": "cjld2cjxh0000qzrmn831i7rn",
    "title": "Test Article",
    "slug": "test-article",
    "body": "Test 1"
    // ...
  },
  {
    "documentId": "cjld2cjxh0001qzrm5q1j5q7m",
    "title": "Test Article 2",
    "slug": "test-article-2",
    "body": "Test 2"
    // ...
  }
  // ...
]

Sort on multiple fields#

To sort on multiple fields, pass them all in an array:

const documents = await strapi.documents("api::article.article").findMany({
  sort: [{ title: "asc" }, { slug: "desc" }],
});

[
  {
    "documentId": "cjld2cjxh0000qzrmn831i7rn",
    "title": "Test Article",
    "slug": "test-article",
    "body": "Test 1"
    // ...

  {
    "documentId": "cjld2cjxh0001qzrm5q1j5q7m",
    "title": "Test Article 2",
    "slug": "test-article-2",
    "body": "Test 2"
    // ...
  }
  // ...
]

  limit: 10,
  start: 0,
