Sort: Sets the sorting criteria.

In noahhl/r-google-analytics: R Handler for importing Google Analytics information from the Google Analytics API

Description

Sets the sorting criteria. Optional. Indicates the sorting order and direction for the returned data. For example, the following parameter would first sort by ga:browser and then by ga:pageviews in ascending order. If you do not indicate a sorting order in your query, the data is sorted by dimension from left to right in the order listed. When using the sort parameter, keep in mind the following: Sort only by dimensions or metrics value that you have used in the dimensions or metrics parameter. If your request sorts on a field that is not indicated in either the dimensions or metrics parameter, you will receive a request error. Google Analytics treats dimensions as strings, so all dimensions are sorted in ascending alphabetical order in an en-US locale. Google Analytics treats all metrics as numbers, so all metrics are sorted in ascending numeric order. The sort direction can be changed from ascending to descending by using a minus sign (-) prefix on the requested field. Note: We do not check that the sort parameters are also defined in the dimensions or metrics parameters.

Usage

Sort(sort.param=NA)

Arguments

sort	The sorting order for the data to be returned. e.g. "ga:visits" or c("ga:visits", "-ga:browser") If NULL is used, the sort parameter will be unset. If no parameter is specified, the current sort value is returned.

Value

The sort value if sort.param is not set.
