I don't think we support this yet but it would be easily added. I'm not sure how well cursor pagination would map to of our endpoints, seeing as we use simple, integer-based indexing for all ID fields. My personal preference would be a 'direction=(asc|desc)' parameter, assuming we don't really need to sort on different fields. If we did need to sort then I'd opt for a combination of a 'sort=(date|name|submitter)' parameter (for '/patches' - different values for other endpoints) and 'direction', but I'd also be fine with just 'sort' and a '-' prefix to reverse things. Happy to take patches for any solution :) While we're on the matter, would it be possible to take a look at the patches in the 'series-api' work? There are a couple that still need at least one reviewer before I'd be happy letting them in: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/stephenfin/series-api/ Stephen _______________________________________________ Patchwork mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/patchwork
