How to specify the sort order for the query to a content provider

Question

I am trying to load all items from a Sqlite Table in Android and want to order the result.

How do I specify the order for the returned cursor?

I query the ContentProvider through a CursorLoader the following way:

new CursorLoader(context, RepresentativeEntityContentProvider.CONTENT_URI, null, null,             null, null); 

Answer 1

try below code change COLUMN_NAME with actual column name on which you wants to sort.

new CursorLoader(context, RepresentativeEntityContentProvider.CONTENT_URI, null, null,             null, "COLUMN_NAME ASC");
