Dynamo primary sort key

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. amplify init and amplify push api commands don’t allow for Dynamo tables to be created with a sort key.

Describe the solution you’d like There was some discussion here of a possible solution but it doesn’t seem to be implemented yet https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-cli/issues/56#issuecomment-416736520

Also discussed here https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-cli/pull/277#issuecomment-428690938

Something like this seems like it would work for my case of needing a sort key on a timestamp

type DeviceData @model {
  id: ID!
  timestamp: String! @sort
  value: String!
}

Describe alternatives you’ve considered Not aware of any, would be open to anything since sort keys cannot be added to already created Dynamo tables.

This is definitely our most needed feature at the moment. Would it be feasible to support specifying multiple sort fields? Example: sorting on createdAt or updatedAt. Clients would then specify what sort type to use in their graphql query variables.

Thank you for the note. This is a highly request feature and your feedback really helps us prioritize it. I will make sure this is included in discussions and will report back when I have more details.
