REST API Endpoint to sort Select Fields

Daniel Alonso_xt4ydm

Hi,

I have an integration with Celigo and it basically syncs some values between SalesForce and Jira in a List Custom field. This Custom field is getting feed incrementally.

I need to sort the values Alphabetically once the sync process ends. I was looking for an Endpoint with the REST API to do that, I tried to get it directly with a GET call using:

/rest/api/3/field/customfield_10035/context/18790/sort

But it doesn't exist

And using the URL directly:

/rest/api/3/field/customfield_10035/context/18790/sort.jspa?fieldConfigId=10138&&atl_token=<SOME_TOKEN>

Gave me a Security Token Error.

Any ideas?

Dear @Daniel Alonso ,

unfortunately, the cloud rest api has no sort endpoint.

Instead you have to do this on your own. When you read the values from JSON response, you can push them in an array. There are a lot of sort function (depending on the language of your code) that then support array sorting.

See examples for PHP. Python and Java.

So long

Thanks @Thomas Deiler ,

Actually the account are sent sort to Jira, the problem is like for example:

Day 1, I have Account: B, E, C, A. In the Celigo code I sort them and it's ABCE, and they are pushed to Jira in that way, then

Day 2, There are accounts A1, Bell, Cold, Ex and they are pushed to Jira sort A1, Bell, Cold, Ex, but in Jira, the sort is now like:

A-B-C-E-A1-Bell-Cold-Ex

So, I need the sort on Jira level

Seems they got just appended. Jira works internal with digit object ids (server). When adding new object the id is just increased, so the output is not sorted but just returned from lower to higher ids.

To sort it on Day 2 you need to read + remove existing objects from Jira, add new, sort them and push again to Jira.

So long

That's a lot of resources on the server, I think it's easiest to set a reminder on my calendar and go click on Sort every other day, meanwhile @Atlass

Releases and end point for that.

Thanks any way! Really appreciate the time you took to reply.
