Bulk data implementations: Are there any recommendations on which parameter to use for _sort?
Josh Mandel (Sep 01 2021 at 15:47):
We don't really define any ordering semantics on the output, so it's kind of moot to talk about "sort" -- like, the server can split up outputs of a given resource type into as many files at it wants, and while they do appear in the manifest in ... some order... that's not intended to mean anything. And of course lines within each file are in some order, but again we assign no semantics to this.
