Get Images from a folder sorted by date using Admin api

Hello, I am creating a project where I can upload pictures and I will have a gallery with all of the uploaded images. The gallery will have infinite scroll.

I am getting the images with prefix like this:

const uploadDir = 'cules-uploader/'

const options = {
type: 'upload',
prefix: uploadDir,
max_results: 10,
}

if (next) options.next_cursor = next

const { resources, next_cursor } = await cloudinaryV2.api.resources(options)

It is giving me the images sorted by their public_id. But I want them to sort by their upload date. If I use Search api then it gives me all images at once. I don't want that. 

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

  Hi Anjan,

  The parameter direction can be used to sort the result by created_at date (see https://cloudinary.com/documentation/admin_api#optional_parameters), for example,

  const options = {
     type: 'upload',
     prefix: uploadDir,
     max_results: 10,
     direction: 1,
  }

  Alternatively, you can also use the Search API expression parameters (see https://cloudinary.com/documentation/search_api#expressions), for example:

  search.expression(<some_filter>).sort_by('created_at','desc').max_result(10)

  Then you could also use the next_cursor to go through the next 10 items in the result list.

  Hope this helps, please let me know if you have any further questions.
