Hi,

I was discussing the parallel thread about reporting on inventory and my colleague suggested to use the search API. So I started digging a bit and it seems quite useful. I can create a list of items by type and control which fields are returned.

But I can not order. I can not see a UI option for that, but I also can find if there is an option in the REST call.

This will give 10 random reports from the store, including the creationTime:
/bi/v1/search/cm?fields=creationTime,defaultName,selfUrl,hidden,type,disabled,id,defaultScreenTip&results=10&query=&hide_internal=all&filter=type%7Creport

I tried to add:
&sortOrder=creationTime

and: order, orderBy, myOrder, yourOrder, anythingOrderly

None of them sorts the results. Does anyone know if there is such a parameter?

(btw, if you want to test this in your browser, you have to switch off XSRF checking, else you get a Forbidden message)
