4. Sorting¶

To provide examples that are easy to follow, the following URL is used throughout this guide:

http://<Tower server name>/api/v2/groups/

To specify that {{ model_verbose_name_plural }} are returned in a particular order, use the order_by query string parameter on the GET request.

http://<Tower server name>/api/v2/model_verbose_name_plural?order_by={{ order_field }}

Prefix the field name with a dash (-) to sort in reverse:

http://<Tower server name>/api/v2/model_verbose_name_plural?order_by=-{{ order_field }}

Multiple sorting fields may be specified by separating the field names with a comma (,):

http://<Tower server name>/api/v2/model_verbose_name_plural?order_by={{ order_field }},some_other_field
