Steps to reproduce

When the following code is called

                $.ajax({

                    url: "http://localhost:1337/parse/classes/SocialPosting/",
                    dataType: "son",
                    type:"GET",
                    headers: appModel.parse._headers,

                    data:{where: kendo.stringify(
                            {
                                'vendor':appModel.getParsePointer(appModel.parse._vendor, "Vendor"),
                                'autoGenerated':options.data.autoGenerated
                            }
                        ),sort:"_createdAt"},
                    success: function(jsonResponse) {
                        options.success(jsonResponse.results);
                    },

                    error: function(jqXHR,textStatus,errorThrown) {
                        options.error(options.data);
                    }
                });

            },

The response is

{"code":102,"error":"Invalid paramater for query: sort"}

Of course if we remove the sort then everything works fine.

_createdAt is not a valid key. Try _created_at or createdAt.

[araskin]

Tried both. No change in behavior. @drew-gross

I checked with api.parse.com, and api.parse.com won't crash if you pass a "sort" parameter, but it also won't actually sort the data. The parameter you need to use is "order".

[araskin]

Thanks Drew. That did the trick. I guess it was a bug that we brought over from Parse.com. Once I changed it to order I then get the exception that _createdAt is not a valid key. Once I changed it to createdAt everything works.

Thank you. Please close.
