Sorting Drives by Name with Microsoft Graph API

Question

There is an issue with sorting the drives in a SharePoint site by their name using the Microsoft Graph API. According to the documentation, this should be possible, but the results are always returned as an unsorted list. What might be the cause of this problem?

Code Example

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<site-id>/drives?$orderby=name

Answer 1

Hi Barış Bıkmaz,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft!

I attempted to reproduce the issue on my end and observed the same behavior. When sorting the drives in a SharePoint site by their name using the Microsoft Graph API, the results are consistently returned as an unsorted list.

Here are the API calls I used:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<site-id>/drives?$orderby=name

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<site-id>/drives?$orderby=name ASC

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<site-id>/drives?$orderby=name DESC

I recommend you raise a support case with Microsoft Graph, a Support Engineer will be able to look into this issue and assist you better. You can raise support ticket from New support request - Microsoft Entra admin center or https://admin.microsoft.com/#/support/requests.

Hope this helps.
