It makes sense that reputation or date should sort descending, but name? I tested both /users and /tags and they sort reverse alphabetical, so Z before A. Is that by design or just a side effect of the default sorting being reputation in descending order?

Its by design. Default order is descending across the board, this includes lexicographic sorts.

  • @Jim - if you want the "normal" ordering, just set order=asc in the request. Commented May 26, 2010 at 1:30
