Hi Team,
Is there any way to Get Messages of a subscriber ordered by latest messages? If I send limit as 50 to getMessages API, it is giving me top 50 in chronological order but I'm looking for latest 50 messages to display on the app. Please let me know if that is possible.

Hi there,
To retrieve the latest 50 messages for a subscriber using the Novu API, you can use the
getMessages API endpoint. Currently, the API retrieves messages in chronological order, and there isn't a direct parameter to fetch them in reverse chronological order (from the newest to the oldest).
However, you can still achieve this by fetching the messages as you currently do and then reversing the order in your application logic after retrieval. This means you would programmatically sort the messages by their timestamp in descending order once you have fetched them.
If you're fetching messages and finding that they're not in the expected order, you might want to double-check the timestamp data and ensure that your sorting logic is functioning correctly.
For more details on fetching messages, you can refer to the official documentation here: Get messages (1) .
Let me know if you need further assistance!Thanks for the quick response, to fetch all notifications and reverse it programatically, I should know how many messages are there for that subscriber right? Is there any way I can skip the limit to get all messages? I see by default limit is 10.
Got it. Tagging @Support for additional help.

There is small bug there, if you use any filter like channel or subscriberId, then it will return last created order
@Pawan Jain In that case, is it possible to get all notifications without a limit(default 10) on it for specific subscriber?
