<i>Monday, March 10, 2014</i>
</p><p>E-utilities, the API to the NCBI Entrez system, now offers two new options for data retrieval.</p><p>First, ESearch now offers a fully supported <i>&#x00026;sort</i> parameter that determines the sort order of the UIDs returned. While each Entrez database has a default sort order, each also provides a variety of other sorting options found in the &#x0201c;Display Settings&#x0201d; menu at the top of a search result page. Any of these options may now be given to ESearch using &#x00026;sort.&#x000a0;</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col fig" id="fignews03102014resultssortedbyrelev" co-legend-rid="figlgndnews03102014resultssortedbyrelev"><a href="/books/NBK430988/figure/news_03-10-2014.resultssortedbyrelev/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Figure" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="fignews03102014resultssortedbyrelev" rid-ob="figobnews03102014resultssortedbyrelev"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK430988/bin/cms_pubmed_sort_by_relevance.gif" src-large="/books/NBK430988/bin/cms_pubmed_sort_by_relevance.jpg" alt="Results sorted by Relevance" /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt" id="figlgndnews03102014resultssortedbyrelev"><h4 id="news_03-10-2014.resultssortedbyrelev"><a href="/books/NBK430988/figure/news_03-10-2014.resultssortedbyrelev/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobnews03102014resultssortedbyrelev">Figure</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin">Results sorted by Relevance. </p></div></div><p>For example, to sort a PubMed retrieval by First Author, simply add &#x0201c;<i>&#x00026;sort=first+author</i>&#x0201d; to your ESearch URL. If you are also supplying &#x0201c;<i>&#x00026;usehistory=y</i>&#x0201d;, then the UIDs will also be sorted on the Entrez History so that when retrieved by ESummary or EFetch, the sort order will be retained in that output.
