Overview

The select function also allows users to order results the way they might in a typical relational database. Results may be ordered by one or more variables in both ascending or descending order.

Step By Step

• Begin with a simple select query.

• If ascending or descending order is not specified the order by clause will default to ascending.

• To specify descending order add "DESC" to the clause. 

  http://{host}/rds/{collection}/{view}/select?orderby=VAR1 DESC

• Ordering by multiple variables is possible though separating the variables and their order by a comma.
