Building the Future of Data Organization
Sortr was founded with a simple mission: make powerful sorting and filtering capabilities accessible to every developer through a simple, reliable API.
Our Story
Sortr started when our founders kept rebuilding the same sorting and filtering logic across different projects. Every application needed it, yet everyone was implementing it from scratch.
We realized that sorting and filtering, while seemingly simple, become incredibly complex at scale. Custom sorting algorithms, efficient filtering across large datasets, handling edge cases - it all adds up.
So we built Sortr: a purpose-built API that handles all the complexity, letting developers focus on what makes their applications unique.
Today, Sortr processes millions of API calls daily for developers around the world, from solo indie hackers to Fortune 500 companies.
// Before Sortr: Complex, error-prone
const sorted = data
.filter(item => item.active)
.sort((a, b) => {
if (a.priority !== b.priority) {
return b.priority - a.priority;
}
return new Date(b.date) - new Date(a.date);
})
.slice(offset, offset + limit);
// After Sortr: Simple, reliable
const { sorted } = await sortr.sort(data, {
filter: { active: true },
sortBy: ['priority', 'date'],
order: 'desc',
limit,
offset
});Our Values
