Content Type Search Sort Clauses

Content Type Search Sort Clauses are the sorting options for content types. They're only supported by Content Type Search (ContentTypeService::findContentTypes).

Sort Clauses are found in the Ibexa\Contracts\Core\Repository\Values\ContentType\Query\SortClause namespace:

Name Description
Id Sort by content type's id
Identifier Sort by content type's identifier
Name Sort by content type's name

The following example shows how to use them to sort the searched content types:

You can change the default sorting order by using the SORT_ASC and SORT_DESC constants from AbstractSortClause.
