.. _metadata_default_sort:
Setting a default sort order
----------------------------
By default Datasette tables are sorted by primary key. You can over-ride this default for a specific table using the ``"sort"`` or ``"sort_desc"`` metadata properties::
{
"databases": {
"mydatabase": {
"tables": {
"example_table": {
"sort": "created"
}
}
}
}
}
Or use ``"sort_desc"`` to sort in descending order::
{
"databases": {
"mydatabase": {
"tables": {
"example_table": {
"sort_desc": "created"
}
}
}
}
}
