How to order the list of entries using npm contentful integration with metalsmith?

Question

Am trying to order the list of entries using contentful metalsmith example shown at https://github.com/contentful-labs/contentful-metalsmith-example/blob/master/build.js

Metalsmith(__dirname)
.source('src')
.destination('build')
.use(contentful({
space_id: 'w7sdyslol3fu',
access_token: 
'baa905fc9cbfab17b1bc0b556a7e17a3e783a2068c9fd6ccf74ba09331357182',
common: {
  featured_author: {
    limit: 1,
    filter: {
      'sys.id[in]': '5JQ715oDQW68k8EiEuKOk8'
    }
  }
 },
}))

I want the list of entries or post to be ordered based on their update or createdAt fields value.

Please help me out. Thanks.

You can order the entries by adding the order property to the query.

https://www.contentful.com/developers/docs/references/content-delivery-api/#/reference/search-parameters/order/query-entries/console/js

This can be done in the global configuration or as described in the docs in the source file configuration.

https://github.com/contentful/contentful-metalsmith/blob/master/docs/source-file-settings.md#order-optional

Hope that helps. :)
