Ability to order by multiple columns

Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I don’t see a way to order by multiple columns. Here’s what I would do in SQL:

SELECT
	first_name,
	last_name
FROM
	customer
ORDER BY
	first_name ASC,
	last_name DESC;

Describe the solution you’d like

I’d like the order() method to accept multiple columns. Here’s an idea:

const { data, error } = await supabase
  .from('customer')
  .select('first_name', 'last_name')
  .order([
    { column: 'first_name', ascending: true },
    { column: 'last_name', ascending: false },
  ])

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

I tried multiple .order methods and this didn’t appear to work (maybe I screwed up the logic?)

const { data, error } = await supabase
  .from('customer')
  .select('first_name', 'last_name')
  .order('first_name', { ascending: true })
  .order('last_name, { ascending: false });

Hm, that should work, it’s tested here:

https://github.com/supabase/postgrest-js/blob/5f47e84e917448d792c89e5be29c2f643c2a82ab/test/transforms.ts#L12-L19

Can you double check? Perhaps share some sample data and the supabase-js output.

@spyl94 Cool! Thanks for confirming.

To close this one I think we’d need an additional example(“ordering multiple columns”) here: https://supabase.com/docs/reference/javascript/order#examples
