Sorting practice in url

Developers building web application often runs into dilemma of URL structuring. One of the main occurs in doing sort and its order.

Rather than using something like this in URL

http://laravelnepal.com/api/v1/posts?sort=created_at&orderBy=desc

1	http://laravelnepal.com/api/v1/posts?sort=created_at&orderBy=desc

We can simply shorten like this.

http://laravelnepal.com/api/v1/posts?sort=-created_at

1	http://laravelnepal.com/api/v1/posts?sort=-created_at

Everything is awesome.
