Sort order for REST API responses
Results from a search are sorted by field name and direction. Multiple field names can be used, separated by commas.
To indicate the direction of the results, append .asc for ascending and .desc for descending after the field name. For example, if you set the parameters as sort=Status.asc or Create Date.desc, the results a sorted first by Status in ascending order and then by Create Date in descending order.
See the example below"
?sort=Assigned To.asc,Date Field.asc,Time Field.desc

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
