## Sort refinements

You can sort refinement lists alphabetically or by count. For each option, you can choose ascending or descending order.

## Example

You can specify the sort order of the `RefinementTableWidget` or `RefinementCollectionWidget` by using the `sortBy` property:

```swift Swift icon=code theme={"system"}
refinementTableWidget.sortBy = "count:asc"
refinementTableWidget.sortBy = "count:desc"
refinementTableWidget.sortBy = "name:asc"
refinementTableWidget.sortBy = "name:desc"

refinementCollectionWidget.sortBy = "count:asc"
refinementCollectionWidget.sortBy = "count:desc"
refinementCollectionWidget.sortBy = "name:asc"
refinementCollectionWidget.sortBy = "name:desc"
```
