Any way I could sort tasks by creation date?

I'm looking into the '/task/' endpoint but I cannot find a way... It seems the overdue tasks have priority. Here is how I'm doing it:

"https://api.podio.com/task/?org=941914&limit=10&sort_desc=true&sort_by=created_on"

Could you please provide an example?

Thanks

  Hi Flow,

  Could you provide an example response and how you would expect it to be different please?

  Thanks,

  Hi Andreas,

  Could you please take a look to these json files:

  https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_jBvlj_9Xmvb2NJeGdwUi1JajA
  https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_jBvlj_9XmvSGVKUm1yTi0xaVk

  In short, the files contain the response in desc and asc order respectively.

  For example, in the desc file, for the 'created_on' field, the order is:

  "created_on":"2015-05-26 09:20:45"
  "created_on":"2015-05-26 09:20:47"
  "created_on":"2015-05-26 09:20:45"
  "created_on":"2015-05-26 09:20:45"
  "created_on":"2015-05-26 09:20:47"
  ...
  "created_on":"2015-05-26 09:20:52"
  "created_on":"2015-05-26 09:20:45"
  ...
  etc.

  What I'm trying to do is for the response to return in desc chronological order ignoring their priority (groupings):

  "created_on":"2015-05-26 09:20:45"
  "created_on":"2015-05-26 09:20:45"
  "created_on":"2015-05-26 09:20:45"
  "created_on":"2015-05-26 09:20:47"
  "created_on":"2015-05-26 09:20:47"
  "created_on":"2015-05-26 09:20:52"
  ...
  etc.

  By the way, that's another issue we are having, all create_on values are from the same date (2015-05-26). What could be the reason for this?

  Many thanks.

  I think you're confusing the created_on for the ref with the created_on for the task (which is not present in the JSON response you've included). Could you try add view=full to the query parameters for the API call to get created_on for the task?

  Andreas,

  Thanks, view=full did it with created_on. But what about the order, overdue tasks still come first, how can ignore the grouping?

  Thanks again.

  Hi Flow,

  Sorry for the late reply, I've been away for two weeks. Could you share the new JSON response please to verify the tasks are not sorted by created_on of the tasks?

  Thanks,
  Andreas
