Sort group by field values

[universse]

I have a use case where I need to sort groups by fieldValue. Apparently there was a similar FR before #3684.

I can open a pull request too and will need some guidance.

Similar #7628

@universse Isn't it a duplicate of #7628 ?

[universse]

I think there's a difference.

For eg, using the following query,

allData(sort: { fields: date, order: DESC }) {
  group(field: category) {
    fieldValue
    nodes {
      id
    }
  }
}

I would want the ability to sort the group by fieldValue. So I would get some things like allData.group = [{ fieldValue: 'group1'}, { fieldValue: 'group2'}, { fieldValue: 'group3'}, ...] . It's not possible to do this currently. This is similar to #3684, which was closed.

As for #7628, I think what the OP meant is that the nodes within each group do not follow the sort order specified in the query, which is { field: data, order: DESC } in the above eg.

Looking forward to this feature! We're currently sorting this outside graphql on our own.

Any updates on this? I have the same requirement. Right now I'm sorting in JS from the component but it would be great if this could be done in GraphQL.
