Plugin Data View string syntax

I want to display my data view list with the newest entry first instead of last (default) so the user sees his latest entry at the top of the list when he sends the form and is redirected.

I assume that including the "sortdirection" parameter = "desc" will accomplish this. Is that correct?

What is the proper syntax for including this parameter in the plugin string? Does it matter where in the string it is inserted?

An example would be helpful.

Cordially,

Hi,

on the demo page ( www.vi-solutions.de/en/documentations/vi...-vfdataview-examples ) there is actually an example. (The one in the middle, which is named "Display the newest form submission record set". This example is achieved, by ordering the record sets descending according to their creation date and then limit the view to exactly one record set.

You need one plugin parameter to name the field by which the record sets are sorted and one for the direction

"sortorder":"created","sortdirection":"desc"

Thank You. I read the documentation several times but somehow missed the example.
