In GraphQL, ordering results is typically done by using the orderBy argument in the query. This argument allows you to specify the field by which you want to order the results and the direction of the sorting (e.g., ascending or descending).


Here's an example of how you can use the orderBy argument in a GraphQL query:

1
2
3
4
5
6
query {
  users(orderBy: { field: "name", direction: ASC }) {
    id
    name
  }
}


In this example, the query is fetching a list of users and ordering them by the name field in ascending order. You can customize the ordering by changing the value of the field and direction fields in the orderBy argument.


Keep in mind that the specific syntax and capabilities of ordering may vary depending on the GraphQL server you are using, so be sure to consult the documentation for your specific GraphQL implementation for more details.
