Sorting by DragAndDropRank (not in query)

[SteveAppling1363154]

I have a Java application which performs multiple queries to get a set of User Stories using the Rest API.  I would like to sort the combined set by DragAndDropRank.  When I just do an alphanumeric sort based on the DragAndDropRank field, however, I get different results that what I get when using this sort in the built-in User Story list.  What are the comparison rules for this field?  How should I use it to sort?

Appling,

 

You are going to need to interpret it using this KB Article as a guide:

Hope that helps.

Thanks!  I now get the same sorting results in my application.
