## Node parameters
* **Type**: Use the dropdown to select how you want to input the sorting. The following options are available:
* **Simple**: When selected, use the **Add Field To Sort By** button to input the **Field Name** and select whether to use **Ascending** or **Descending** order.
* **Random**: When selected, the node creates a random order in the list.
* **Code**: When selected, displays a code input field where you can enter custom JavaScript code to perform the sort operation.
Configure this node using the **Type** parameter.
## Node options
Use the dropdown to select how you want to input the sorting from these options.
### Simple
Performs an ascending or descending sort using the selected fields.
When you select this **Type**:
* Use the **Add Field To Sort By** button to input the **Field Name**.
* Select whether to use **Ascending** or **Descending** order.
#### Simple options
When you select **Simple** as the **Type**, you have the option to **Disable Dot Notation**. By default, n8n enables dot notation to reference child fields in the format `parent.child`. Use this option to disable dot notation (turned on) or to continue using dot (turned off).
### Random
Creates a random order in the list.
### Code
Input custom JavaScript code to perform the sort operation. This is a good option if a simple sort won't meet your needs.
Enter your custom JavaScript code in the **Code** input field.
