I try to sort json by date (field CreationTimeUTC) in iso 8601 format with jq 1.5.
I found this post, but that return : 'Cannot index boolean with string "CreationTimeUTC"'
jq '.Entities.BackupJobSessions.BackupJobSessions[] | sort_by(.CreationTimeUTC)'
Ok, no problem, I convert value with function 'fromdate' and obtain a unixtimestamp in integer format and sort itself, like this :
jq '.Entities.BackupJobSessions.BackupJobSessions[] | .CreationTimeUTC |= fromdate'
And try to sort :
jq '.Entities.BackupJobSessions.BackupJobSessions[] | .CreationTimeUTC |= fromdate | sort_by(.CreationTimeUTC)'
jq '.Entities.BackupJobSessions.BackupJobSessions[] | sort_by(.CreationTimeUTC |= fromdate)'
But same error : 'Cannot index boolean with string "CreationTimeUTC"'
My json :
