Releases API - can't figure out order #21901
-
|
Hi, i can’t figure out how releases are sorted in the “releases” API. As far as i understand it used to sort releases by “published_at” descendent, but now i found that in https://api.github.com/repos/Cockatrice/Cockatrice/releases the first listed release is older than the second release:
2. Release-2.5.0 is dated: If you look at the “releases” page instead: https://github.com/Cockatrice/Cockatrice/releases , they are correctly sorted by date. Did i wrongly assume that releases in the API page are sorted or did i stumble upon a strange behavior of he releases api? Thank you |

There isn’t a guarantee of a sort order in the API documentation, so I wouldn’t assume that any particular sort order is guaranteed. It looks like it is still sorted by |

There isn’t a guarantee of a sort order in the API documentation, so I wouldn’t assume that any particular sort order is guaranteed. It looks like it is still sorted by
published_atwith the exception that theprerelease: truerecord is first. So it is possible that it is ordered first byprereleaseand then bypublished_at, but since there is no documented guaranteed sort order it is probably not wise to depend on that behavior.
