OrderBy

The sort options.

JSON representation 
{
  "desc": boolean,

  // Union field one_order_by can be only one of the following:
  "metric": {
    object (MetricOrderBy)
  },
  "dimension": {
    object (DimensionOrderBy)
  },
  "pivot": {
    object (PivotOrderBy)
  }
  // End of list of possible types for union field one_order_by.
}
Fields
desc

boolean

If true, sorts by descending order.
Union field one_order_by. Specify one type of order by for OrderBy. one_order_by can be only one of the following:
metric

object (MetricOrderBy)

Sorts results by a metric's values.
dimension

object (DimensionOrderBy)

Sorts results by a dimension's values.
pivot

object (PivotOrderBy)

Sorts results by a metric's values within a pivot column group.

MetricOrderBy

Sorts by metric values.

JSON representation 
{
  "metricName": string
}
Fields
metricName

string

A metric name in the request to order by.

DimensionOrderBy

Sorts by dimension values.

JSON representation 
{
  "dimensionName": string,
  "orderType": enum (OrderType)
}
Fields
dimensionName

string

A dimension name in the request to order by.
orderType

enum (OrderType)

Controls the rule for dimension value ordering.

OrderType

Rule to order the string dimension values by.

Enums
ORDER_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED Unspecified.
ALPHANUMERIC Alphanumeric sort by Unicode code point. For example, "2" < "A" < "X" < "b" < "z".
CASE_INSENSITIVE_ALPHANUMERIC Case insensitive alphanumeric sort by lower case Unicode code point. For example, "2" < "A" < "b" < "X" < "z".
NUMERIC Dimension values are converted to numbers before sorting. For example in NUMERIC sort, "25" < "100", and in ALPHANUMERIC sort, "100" < "25". Non-numeric dimension values all have equal ordering value below all numeric values.

PivotOrderBy

Sorts by a pivot column group.

JSON representation 
{
  "metricName": string,
  "pivotSelections": [
    {
      object (PivotSelection)
    }
  ]
}
Fields
metricName

string

In the response to order by, order rows by this column. Must be a metric name from the request.
pivotSelections[]

object (PivotSelection)

Used to select a dimension name and value pivot. If multiple pivot selections are given, the sort occurs on rows where all pivot selection dimension name and value pairs match the row's dimension name and value pair.

PivotSelection

A pair of dimension names and values. Rows with this dimension pivot pair are ordered by the metric's value.

For example if pivots = ('browser', 'Chrome') and metricName = "Sessions", then the rows will be sorted based on Sessions in Chrome.

---------|----------|----------------|----------|----------------
         |  Chrome  |    Chrome      |  Safari  |     Safari
---------|----------|----------------|----------|----------------
 Country | Sessions | Pages/Sessions | Sessions | Pages/Sessions

    US   |    2     |       2        |     3    |        1

  Canada |    3     |       1        |     4    |        1

JSON representation 
{
  "dimensionName": string,
  "dimensionValue": string
}
Fields
dimensionName

string

Must be a dimension name from the request.
dimensionValue

string

Order by only when the named dimension is this value.
