I am looking to find a way for users to pick how they want their records sorted. I have a regular query service and I just added "sort" to the query string area, then I map a LSV to the parameter to determine how it sorts and it works great.

I know that with API Express you can pick the default sort but I want the users to have the option to choose how they wish to sort since everyone has different preferences. I tried the same method I used with my regular services but it doesn't work. No errors but it just doesn't sort.

Any advice?

Hello Ellen,

Please look at this topic: https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...

I realize that and have already looked at that. I want the user to be able to pick how it is sorted based on their own specific, personal preferences.

Dear Ellen,

Could you clarify what you have tried and what exactly does not work?

As a user is using the app, I want them to be able to choose how they sort. I do not want to decide for them like how the link suggests I do it. They choose. With my non api express services, I added a sort parameter and a select menu for them to choose. It worked well, as expected. I tried that same implementation with my API express services and it does not sort them.

Hey have you had a chance to look at this at all?

Now there are no way to send sort parameter in the request: https://devcenter.appery.io/documenta...
It will be able in one of next releases.

Do you know what that will be?

Hello Ellen,

Unfortunately it's hard to say now. We'll get back to you with the update as soon as we have more information from our development team.

Do you know if this will be available in the update happening today?
