sort

Sorts records by a single field.

Supported formats: json (arrays only) jsonl csv

Options

Option	Type	Required	Description
`field`	string	Yes	Field name to sort by
`direction`	string	No	`asc` or `desc`. Defaults to `asc`.
`nulls`	string	No	`first` or `last`. Where records with a missing, `null`, or empty (CSV) value are placed. Defaults to `last`.

Sort by last name ascending (default):

yaml

- sort:
    field: last_name

Sort by date descending:

yaml

- sort:
    field: created_at
    direction: desc

Put records with no shipped_at value first:

yaml

- sort:
    field: shipped_at
    nulls: first

Records with a missing or null field value are sorted last by default. Set nulls: first to place them first instead. Null placement is independent of direction.
For CSV, empty string values are treated as missing.
Records with missing values keep their original relative order.
When field values parse as numbers, numeric ordering is used. Otherwise, string ordering is used.
JSON object payloads (single record) are not supported — convert to a JSON array or JSONL first.
