User Sorting Criteria and Data Model

User Sorting Criteria

We support the following sorting criteria in operations returning a paged list of users:

Criteria Name	Field	Order	Description
reputation	reputation	descending	This parameter sorts users from most reputable (highest amount of reputation points) to least reputable (least amount of reputation points).
username	username	ascending	This parameter sorts users by username in ascending alphabetical order (Aa, Bb, Cc, etc).
recent	creationDate	descending	This parameter sorts users from the most recent to the earliest created (registered).
oldest	creationDate	ascending	This parameter sorts users from the earliest to the most recently created (registered).
default			By default (if you do not select other sort options) the AnswerHub API will sort returned users in a request by reputation, from most to least.
