Sort by combination of fields in Javascript API

hi there

i'm querying the api via:

i'm querying the javascript api via:

const queryData = await this.$prismic.api.query(
    [
      this.$prismic.predicates.any('document.type', ['news', 'press'])
    ],
    {
      orderings: '[my.news.date desc, my.press.date desc]',
      pageSize: 100, // max pageSize
      page: pageNumber
    }
  )

press-items and news-items both have a "date" field on them.

the ordering currently orders all results by news.date and THEN by press.date which leads to all the press-results being returned first.

How can I sort all of the results by date? So that the results are a list of news and press-items both sorted by date? Something like "my.any.date"?

Hi @rrkuepper, unfortunately it isn’t possible to order your results by a Date field across different custom types. This is something I would love to see myself, and I’ve added another tick for this in our feature request tracker as a possible improvement for the future.

For now, you’ll need to organize the results in your website app after querying.

This is being tracked as an open feature request.

Is there any update on this? I'm facing the same issue
