The by modifier designates a sort key, in ascending order, and must be followed by an attr.name. It may be used with any command that lists or selects items, such as list or select.
Syntax
by attr.name {by attr.name...} |
NOTE |
If by is provided with a command that does not naturally sort (such as the list command), the command is changed to its sorting counterpart (for example, list becomes sort, select becomes sselect, and so on). |
Example(s)
list entity by zip |
sselect invoices by date by customer |
list entity with name = "[mike]" by name |
