We are using Box for salesforce, and it is very useful to associate the salesforce record with uploaded box files.

But, in embed box component, search results are unfriendly, because if we are sorting by updated, search results are sorted in ascending order.

When I investigated by chrome developer tools, search query is

```

https://app.box.com/embed/folder/0/search?query=png&pageSize=100&sortDirection=asc&sortColumn=date&folderID=0&resinSessionID=xxxxxxxxxx&showItemFeedActions=true&showParentPath=true

```

 

Although is it '&sortDirection=asc&sortColumn=date', can I change in descending order?

    Hi there,

    Yep absolutely, if you change sortDirection to desc it'll flip the order, and you can adjust the sortColumn as well based on what column you intend to sort on. Here's more detail about the different parameters and configuration options: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/box-embed/#parameters
