Using multiple sorting parameters

You can apply multiple order parameters:

// Define query
var query = {
  "sorting": {
    "fields.title": 'ASC',
    "meta.createdAt": 'DESC'
  }
};

// Stringify and URI Encode the Object
query = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(query));

// Submit the query
window.fetch(`https://api.cmft.io/v1/<repo>/documents?query=${query}`, {
  method: 'get',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': '<apiKey>'
  }
})
  .then(function (response) { return response.json() })
  .then(function (data) {
    console.log(data)
  })
