# Sort Clause reference

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/5.0/llms.txt).

Sort Clauses help fine-tune sorting order when searching for content and locations.

Sort Clauses are the sorting options for Content and Location Search and [Repository filtering](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/5.0/search/search_api/#repository-filtering).

Capabilities of individual Sort Clauses can depend on the search engine.

All Sort Clauses can take the following optional argument:

- `sortDirection` - the direction of the sorting, either `Query::SORT_ASC` (default) or `Query::SORT_DESC`
