Looking to sort my results by date added so that new posts/video links are added in order that they were published. The docs don't mention much about options for sorting fields

You can use all the Global Parameters with the SDK as well
https://docs.directus.io/reference/query.html#sort
So assuming you've got a field date_published
await directus.items('articles').readByQuery({
sort: [-date_published]
});
Add - for descending order

Not sure how you've implemented your types but the call should work fine assuming you have a date_pubished field within your collection
dapper sedge
i don't have type declarations, as I would have assumed the SDK did for defaults
here is how this collection is modeled
I changed y query to "-date_created" and still have the same error
This seems to only give me a "Sort" field to use
that doesn't seem helpful

Does the actual call work though?
On the type issues check out this doc https://docs.directus.io/reference/sdk.html#typescript
