Question

Possible to alter Odata attribute sequence?

0

Hi there, Is there any way to alter the sequence of Odata attributes by using a query option? I have tried using the "?$select" query option, but this still seems to return the data in the same sequence as the Entity attribute sequence. Any input will be appreciated.

Don't know if this is what you mean but you could use for example $orderby=Name asc to alter the order.

See https://docs.mendix.com/refguide/odata-query-options

Only way to do this, as far as I know, is to change the attribute sequence on the entity itself, and then re-export the service feed.

Yes, the order of the properties is described in the metadata, so it's always the same.

Why do you want to do that?

Hi there,

It seems that OData has added support for Column Sequence order, any idea when it will be made available in Mendix :)
