Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi
I am using Java SDK of Dropbox API v2 in my Android app. I use listFolder() to list the contents of the folder. This folder only has files in it, no sub folders.
ListFolderResult result = mDbxClient.files().listFolder(somePath);
I want 'result' to contain files ordered by:
1. Creation time on server
2. Name of file
How can I achieve this? Please help.
The API doesn't offer options for sorting/ordering the returned metadata, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
You can sort the entries in your application's own code of course after you receive them, but make sure you process them in the order returned first to make sure you get an accurate representation of the account, per the documentation.
