How to retrieve ordered filter results through REST API?

[Thorsten Twellmann]

Hi,

I want to retrieve the result of a saved filter through the REST API using /jira/rest/api/2/search. The filter definition contains an ordering by resolutiondate (I test also id). If I change the direction from ASC to DESC the order changes in the Jira UI but not in the json object returned by the REST call. Why? How can I retrieve an ordered result through REST?

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip, but this does not change the behavior.

Did you tried something like:

/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=TEST and status=closed&orderBy=-resolutiondate

If it does not work for you please post the rest call what exactly you were trying.

I was trying

http://127.0.0.1:2990/jira/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=TEST%20and%20resolution%20is%20not%20empty&orderBy=-resolutiondate

and

http://127.0.0.1:2990/jira/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=TEST%20and%20resolution%20is%20not%20empty&orderBy=resolutiondate

Both return a list of issues in the same order

As a workaround you can use:

/rest/api/2/search?jql=project = TEST and resolution is not empty ORDER BY resolutiondate ASC&orderBy=-resolutiondate

Please try it and let me know.

 @Thorsten Twellmann, Can you try adding the extra query parameter to your REST call which you want to order by as like below:

?orderBy=-resolutiondate

To order by "resolutiondate" descending

Hope this helps you. Thanks.
