AWS GraphQL: Sort List by specific sort key

Question

Considering the given schema declaration:

type Subject @model @key(fields: ["num", "type", "desc", "parent"])
{
    id:     ID!
    num :   String!
    ...
}

How would I call API.graphql method in order to sort it by its 3rd key, for instance?

Answer 1

GraphQL doesn't inherently support sorting. To add sorting you need to modify your queries to accept one or more sort parameters and then do the sorting in your code. This article gives examples of Filtering, Pagination & Sorting.
