# Sorting

A sort specification used in a recommendation query request to order results.

## Declaration

```data
object RecommendationSorting
```

## Properties

field: The name of the field to sort by. Use creationTime to sort by when the recommendation was created, or expirationTime to sort by recommendation expiry and act on time-sensitive items first. order: The sort direction. Defaults to ASC when omitted. See SortingOrder.

## Discussion

Discussion The Sorting specifies one sort dimension in the sorting array of a QueryRequest. The sorting array supports multiple entries, which the system applies in order. The first entry is the primary sort, the second is the tiebreaker, and so on. Example {   "field": "creationTime",   "order": "DESC" }
