# Sorting

> Sort X Ads API collection results using the sort_by query parameter, with supported ascending and descending attributes for campaigns, line items, and more.

Sorting is available for most Ads API collection endpoints (that return a list of objects). Depending on the endpoint, you will find various parameters enabled for sorting. Most fields returned by these parameters (except for IDs and ENUMs) will be sortable.

| API Collection                                                                          | Sortable Parameters                                                                                                                                                |

## Getting started

In your API request simply append `sort_by=[attribute name]-[asc/desc]` where the attribute is a valid attribute that is returned in the JSON of your GET request.

For example, you can use `?name-asc` to sort by name alphabetically or `?name-desc` to sort in reverse.

## Going deeper

Below is a sample API request to return all line items by the `bid_amount_local_micro` in descending order:

`twurl -H ads-api.x.com "/5/accounts/k9w0oe/line\_items?sort\_by=bid\_amount\_local_micro-desc"`

```json theme={null}
