How to send GET request to specify sorting

Yii 2.0 REST APIs
1

I want to send GET request to v1/users endpoint, where as params I want to specify that I want to do ordering by priority DESC and status ASC.

As you can see I want to send params that will map to SQL WHERE parts:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE something ORDER BY priority DESC, status ASC

How I am supposed to specify as params in my HTTP request that I want this sorting ? I think that in order to do this I need to send JSON data in POST request. But that is a problem, because I want GET request not POST. post/users means create user, and I want to get users.

Am I missing something ?

I have just worked this out for myself. Good timing.

You should be able to get what you want without adding any code by adding this to the end of your url:


?sort=-priority,status

Note that you add - to request descending order.
