Sorting of devices by name

Sorting is essentially a request for a sorted list of items, for example, a list of devices sorted by name. By default, it is sorted in ascending order by the field name given but, if prefixed by - it is sorted in descending order. This can be seen in the following example:

HTTP GET--> /iiot/devices?sort=name

Sorted HTTP response is given as follows:

{    "IIoTEcoSystem": "gets a list of IIoT Devices",    "Version": "1.0",    "CompanyName": "IIoTPlatform",    "Devices": [     {        "deviceId": "11",        "name": "device-A",        "assetType": "liquifier",        "active": "yes"    },    {         "deviceId": "10",         "name": "device-B",         "assetType": "pump",         "active": "yes"    },    ]}
