I'm trying to order a collection of list items with Microsoft Graph :
.../items?select=id&orderby=id%20desc
I've tried on multiple properties and with a space instead of %20. I've followed the documentation.
But ids are always ordered ascending. Am I doing anything wrong or is it a bug with Microsoft Graph ?
The $orderby parameter is not currently supported by the SharePoint endpoints. At this time only $select, $expand, and $filter are supported.
I recommend visiting the UserVoice and adding a request for this feature. It seems like it would be valuable when pulling a collection of ListItem resources.
As an aside, you're also missing the $ prefix:
items?$select=id&$orderby=id desc
Ignoring the $ prefix is only supported on the beta endpoint. Per the documentation:
Note: On the
betaendpoint, the$prefix is optional.
