Trying to query data and making sure data comes back in a certain order. Is there an equivalent of ORDER BY in aerospike client?

Thanks for the help

There is no sort or ORDER BY supported in Aerospike client. The client collects partial, unordered results from the cluster nodes. If the application wants the results in a specific order, it needs to perform the sort using appropriate language utilities.
