GeoNames Forum

I am new to this forum and the API. I am using Geonames API and able to list the states. However, I need that to be listed in Ascending Order alphabetically. As of now, the listing order is not ascending or Descending. Here is the URL that I am using.

http://api.geonames.org/search?featureCode=ADM1&maxRows=100&country=US&username=demo

Please help me getting the list in ASC order.

Thanks,

Faisal

You have to sort it yourself. The service returns it sorted by 'relevancy' not alphabetically. The children service instead is sorted alphabetically.

Thanks for your message. I have tried the following query but didn't work.

http://api.geonames.org/search?featureCode=ADM1&maxRows=100&country=US&username=demo order by ADM1 asc

Is there any example or reference as how to sort it alphabetically.

Thanks,

Faisal

The service does not implement any order by function.
