the following filter sorts the

action to list principals, you can do a primary sort on the
list
sort on the
name
name in each group).
You can do this by specifying the following parameters:
sort1-type=asc&sort2-name=desc

You can filter out or display only entries with a combination of matching types. For example, the

filter-lt-date-modified=2004-07-10T10:00:00.000-07:00&filter-gt-date-
modified=2004-07-1T10:00:00.000-07:00
to sort data in ascending and descending order. For example,
sort
