Get list of projects and sort alphabetically

[Steven Lee]

Currently, sending GET request to "https://arcanys.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/project". The projects retrieved are not sorted and I want it sorted in alphabetical order. Of course, it can be done in application logic but that would not be simple. Maybe there is a simple way using JIRA REST API?

I'm considering "https://arcanys.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/search" as I can specify an ORDER BY clause. Problem is I don't know how to retrieve the list of projects using this endpoint.

Question: Is there a rest api way to retrieve JIRA projects and sort them alphabetically?

No, the issue search (where you have a sort option) is for issues, not projects.

See https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/server/#api/2/project-getAllProjects for getting a list of projects, but you'll have to sort it yourself.
