Hi there,

I have a requirements where manager wants to handle the displaying order of categories, services, providers and location. Can we have one more attribute in API to display in order so that I can present them accordingly in a frontend?

Thank You

Regards,
Kishor

array of such objects is ordered according to company settings already

Yep.. but you cannot rely on array order.

API response is giving in according to company settings, but when I filtered out data, I’m getting data in random order. I have attached an image for example. If I would have an order identifier, I can sort back again as company settings.

your programmers should be able to add param to object from array order.

e.g.

$i = 0;
foreach($providers as &$provider) {
$provider->order = $i;
$i++;
