Sorting Data

The video tutorial explains how to implement sorting functionality for tasks using JavaScript. It covers setting up URL structures to allow sorting by different criteria such as creation date or completion status. The tutorial demonstrates how to implement this logic in JavaScript, test it using Postman, and customize sorting through URL parameters. The goal is to enable clients to efficiently manage and retrieve task data, ensuring fast and responsive applications.

What is one of the main reasons for allowing clients to sort tasks?

• To reduce the number of tasks

• To increase server load

• To improve data retrieval efficiency

• To make tasks more complex

Which special character is commonly used to separate the field and order in a sorting URL?

• Ampersand (&)

• Asterisk (*)

• Dollar sign ($)

• Underscore (_)

In the demonstration, what was the result of sorting tasks by creation date in descending order?

• Newest tasks appeared first

• Tasks were sorted alphabetically

• Tasks were not sorted

• Oldest tasks appeared first

How can you specify a descending order when sorting tasks?

• Using 'ASC'

• Using 'DESC'

• Using 'UP'

• Using 'DOWN'

What method is used to split the 'sort by' query parameter in JavaScript?

• join()

• slice()

• concat()

• split()

What is the purpose of using the ternary operator in the sorting implementation?

• To concatenate strings

• To remove fields

• To convert order to 1 or -1

• To add more fields

What happens if the 'sort by' parameter is not specified?

• Tasks are sorted by default

• Tasks are not sorted

• An error is thrown

• Tasks are deleted

What is a benefit of allowing clients to customize data retrieval?

• Larger data sets

• More complex queries

• Faster client applications

• Increased server load

How does customizable data retrieval affect server performance?

• Increases server load

• Reduces server load

• Slows down the server

• Has no effect

What is the next topic to be covered after sorting and querying tasks?

• Data encryption

• User authentication

• File upload

• Database optimization
