Nexus 3 Query builder how to retrieve artefacts in descending order - groovy

Question

Is there a way we can retrieve artefacts in date descending order?
I currently have below script here as an example:
import org.sonatype.nexus.repository.storage.Asset
import org.sonatype.nexus.repository.storage.Query
import org.sonatype.nexus.repository.storage.StorageFacet
import groovy.json.JsonOutput
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def request = new JsonSlurper().parseText(args)
assert request.groupId: 'groupId parameter is required'
assert request.repoName: 'repoName parameter is required'
assert request.startDate: 'startDate parameter is required, format: yyyy-mm-dd'
log.info("Gathering Asset list for repository: ${request.repoName} as of startDate: ${request.startDate}")
def repo = repository.repositoryManager.get(request.repoName)
StorageFacet storageFacet = repo.facet(StorageFacet)
def tx = storageFacet.txSupplier().get()
tx.begin()
Iterable<Asset> assets = tx.
findAssets(Query.builder()
.where('group = ').param(request.groupId)
.and('last_updated > ').param(request.startDate)
.build(), [repo])
def urls = assets.collect { "/repository/${repo.name}/${it.name()}" }
tx.commit()
def result = JsonOutput.toJson([
assets : urls,
since : request.startDate,
repoName: request.repoName
])
return result
with:
Query.builder()
.where('group = ').param(request.groupId)
.and('last_updated > ').param(request.startDate)
.build()
def urls = assets.collect { "/repository/${repo.name}/${it.name()}" }
Is there a way we can change above script to retrieve things in date descending order?

Answer 1

You can simply add a suffix.
Query.builder()
.where('group = ').param(request.groupId)
.and('last_updated > ').param(request.startDate)
.suffix('order by last_updated desc')
.build()
def urls = assets.collect { "/repository/${repo.name}/${it.name()}" }
Nexus is using OrientDB behind the scene. You can find query examples here:
