Change default sort order for Spring Data findAll() method

Question

I\'m using Spring Data JPA and I wonder if it is possible to change the default sort order for a entity being used by the Spring Data findAll() method?

Answer 1

Use a PagingAndSortingRepository instead. With that in place you can add a queryparameter ?sort=,

Repository:

public interface UserRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository {
  //no custom code needed
}

GET Request:

localhost:8080/users?sort=name,desc
