Hi, prismic team, why I can't sort data with the timstampts type and date type in graphql? .. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/prismic/original/2X/5/5bd8d082aa542e4490e79a4283c0e3fa41f2735e.png) ---

Hi @muhammad.ilhamsa1 Thanks for contributing to the Prismic community. In fact it seems that the query that you are doing is not correct, but that depends on what technology you are using pure GraphQL (Prismic implementation), Gatsby, etc... I think you query should look like this if you are using pure GraphQL ``` query { allPages(sortBy:meta_firstPublicationDate_ASC) { edges { node { _meta { firstPublicationDate } } } } } ``` ![Screenshot 2021-04-23 at 16.35.45](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/prismic/original/2X/a/a381506b682c1da141f9093d82ceee3e58549f1f.png) Please let me know if that answers you question, Fares ---

Thanks for reply @Fares .. I use pure graphql from prismic, I create a publishDate field so that users can publish old posts with the date they want... so why does sort for date field not work in prismic pure graphql? ---

Thanks, @muhammad.ilhamsa1 for the clarification, ok then it is a custom field. I will try to reproduce and get back you ---

Hi Muhammad, It is working for me here is screenshot ![Screenshot 2021-04-27 at 17.22.27](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/prismic/original/2X/e/efe1116715dfc2824dfaf3d0adb02d88702d6e3e.png) In fact I think that the you can't use camelcase uid for a field, it should be all lowercase Your query should look like: ``` query { allPages(sortBy:publishdate_ASC) { edges { node { publishdate } } } } ``` ---

do I need to change my entire uid for a field from camelCase to snake\_case. to avoid bugs in the future? ---

You are welcome; in fact, I've checked our team, and it seems that there is no issue in using snake\_case for your UID. I've done few tests, and there doesn't seem to be an issue in GraphQL ---
