Answer

  • The data type of key is text which is UTF8 encoded string so the output of GET container (regardless S3 or Swift) is ordered according to UTF8 encoding.
Example:

ndyz@ubuntu-1:~$ curl -X GET -H 'X-Auth-Token:SGRD_fa2b7e8b2a4b4dea9379bc070bdd1875' https://10.128.231.111:18083/v1/79910314025223200905/container1 -k
*0object2
.o
.object2
0object2
1001
1002
1003
1004
1098
1099
1100
=object2

o*bject2
o,bject2
o-bject2
o.bject2
o0bject2
o1bject2
o=bject2
o@bject2
o^bject2
o_bject2
ob@ject2

  • The same order applies to the output of the S3 ListObjects command.
  •  AWS S3 API does not support specifying the sort order in the ListObjects response, StorageGRID follows the same behavior.
