Can't retrieve GlobalFeed in chronological order

TS SDK
1

SDK: @amityco/ts-sdk version 7.8.6

Problem: The global feed API is returning posts sorted by engagement level rather than chronological order, making it impossible to display ‘Most Recent’ posts.

Expected Behavior: Posts should be returned in chronological order (newest first)

Additional Info: A coworker said that beta is turned on for our account, but I can’t verify.

What I’ve Tested:

  • createQuery + runQuery() post

  • FeedRepository.getGlobalFeed()

  • FeedRepository.queryGlobalFeed() (in order version of the sdk)

// Chronological using createQuery 
 const fetchWithCreateQuery = async () => {
    isLoading.value = true
    error.value = null

    try {
      const query = createQuery(FeedRepository.queryGlobalFeed)

      await runQuery(query, ({ data: postsData, ...options }) => {
        posts.value = (postsData as Amity.Post[]) || []
      })

      return { posts: posts.value, paging: { next: nextToken.value } }
    } catch (err) {
      error.value = `Error fetching feed with createQuery: ${err}`
      throw err
    } finally {
      isLoading.value = false
    }
  }

 // Chronological using getGlobalFeed
    const getChronologicalFeed = async () => {
    if (!amity.isConnected()) {
      error.value = 'Not connected to Amity'
      return { posts: [], paging: { next: null } }
    }
    try {
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        let hasInitiallyResolved = false

        FeedRepository.getGlobalFeed(
          {}, // No dataTypes filter to get text-only posts
          ({ data: newPosts, hasNextPage, error: liveError, loading }) => {
            if (liveError) {
              if (!hasInitiallyResolved) {
                reject(new Error(`Error fetching text-only feed (live): ${liveError}`))
              }
              return
            }

            if (newPosts && !loading) {
              posts.value = newPosts || []
              hasMore.value = !!hasNextPage
              nextToken.value = null // Live collections don't use tokens

              if (!hasInitiallyResolved) {
                hasInitiallyResolved = true
                resolve({ posts: newPosts || [], paging: { next: null } })
              }
            }
          }
        )
      })
    } catch (err) {
      throw err
    }
  }
