Github graphQL OrderBy

Question

I have a GraphQL query. I cannot understand why it is not working.

{
  repositoryOwner(login: "Naramsim") {
    login
    repositories(first: 3, isFork: true, orderBy: {field: CREATED_AT}) {
      edges {
        node {
          description
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

You've got an error

Argument 'orderBy' on Field 'repositories' has an invalid value.
Expected type 'RepositoryOrder'.

You forget to specify direction which is marked as mandatory. This will work:

{
  repositoryOwner(login: "Naramsim") {
    login
    repositories(first: 3, isFork: true,  orderBy: {field: CREATED_AT, direction: ASC}) {
      edges {
        node {
          description
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

can I get all repositories without pagination? – Davi Wesley Aug 04 '19 at 22:24
@DaviWesley I think that's best asked in a separate question, if it hasn't been asked already (which it probably has) – RyanQuey Sep 01 '20 at 15:55
Hi Alex, What about if I want to change the created_at field with dropdown? Like name etc. I need something dynamically. – Ufuk UYSAL Nov 29 '21 at 21:50
@UfukUYSAL this is bit of work. You start with [dynamic react graph](https://stackoverflow.com/a/66811179/1705829) and then move on to the gui with react. As your comment is one year old, maybe you did that? – Timo Dec 02 '22 at 16:25
In the ordering, you use `CREATED_AT` with `_`. There is also [`CREATEDAT`](https://gist.github.com/MichaelCurrin/72dea64bad7e285323865788aa5871f6#file-owned_repos-gql) without hiven. What is the diff? – Timo Dec 28 '22 at 21:04
Can you point us to the docs where you got the snippet "Argument..." from? I [found](https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/reference/objects#repository) repo object info, but without `orderby`. – Timo Dec 28 '22 at 21:12
