I know that it is possible to sort on multiple fields by adding multiple orderBy clauses to a query but I need to sort one field ascending and one descending. If I add one orderByclause and one orderByDesc clause the second one is ignored.
Is there any way I can sort one field ascending and one descending?

Hi,
Yes, you can add orderBy and ordebydesc clause in gliderecord query.
Refer below, it is working as to sort incidents based on state and desc order for priority:
var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
gr.orderBy('state'); // Ascending Order
gr.orderByDesc('priority'); // Ascending Order
//gr.addEncodedQuery(queryString);
gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
gs.info(gr.number+" "+gr.state +" P:"+gr.priority);
}
----Result of above script------
INC Number State(ASC) Priority(DESC)
*** Script: INC0010001 1 P:5
*** Script: INC0010112 1 P:5
*** Script: INC0010111 1 P:5
*** Script: INC0000057 1 P:5
*** Script: INC0000039 1 P:5

*** Script: INC0009001 1 P:3
*** Script: INC0000059 1 P:3
*** Script: INC0007001 1 P:1
*** Script: INC0009005 1 P:1
*** Script: INC0000029 2 P:5
*** Script: INC0000020 2 P:5

Thanks Valarmathi. I have realised that the problem was due to the data in one of the fields I was using but this method could be useful in future.

Hi,
Can you inform where you are trying this?
For server side it is allowed to use combination of orderBy and ordeByDesc
In client side GlideRecord this is not allowed

Thanks Ankur. It was in the server-side script of a portal widget but I found my problem was due to the data in one of the fields.

Hello Lynnrogers,
By double clicking you can only use one column to sort ,however the Add Sort button on top of the list view can be used to add multiple sort conditions (ascending or Descdending) as in below screenshot
Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Regards,
Abhijeet Khandre
