Hi all, I'm having trouble searching for all sci fi movies after 2000, sorted by dates ascending. This is my current query:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?with_genres=878&release_date.gte=2000-01-01&api_key=api_key&sort_by=release_date

When I look at the movies I get from the query, it appears that the date function isn't working at all.

Would really appreciate any help!

Hi kmckenna3,

You're not specifying a valid sort option, you're looking for either release_date.desc or release_date.asc.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?with_genres=878&release_date.gte=2000-01-01&api_key=api_key&sort_by=release_date.desc

One more thing to mention, you might find you get better results by using primary_release_date.gte and primary_release_date.asc / primary_release_date.desc because remember, using the release_date filter simply looks at all release dates.

Cheers.
