Sequelize Newbie Mistake

Today I inherited a piece of code that looked something like this:

const records = Records.findOne({
    where: {
        pk: 'blah',
    },
    sort: ['dateField', 'DESC']
});

It did not seem to be sorting correctly, so I looked up ordering for Sequelize. Since I am new to Sequelize, I did not know that the correct property is order and not sort. But when I changed it, I got this error message:

Unknown column \'DESC\' in \'order clause\'

It took me longer than I care to admit to see what the issue was. If you pass an array of single items to the order property, it will use them all as part of the sort. So the backend SQL query looked something like this:

SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE pk = 'blah' ORDER BY dateField, DESC

What I really wanted was to pass it an array of arrays to sort on. So the correct code looks like this:

const records = Records.findOne({
    where: {
        pk: myValue,
    },
    order: [
        ['dateField', 'DESC']
    ],
});

Notice that order property now is an array containing an array specifying the field to sort on and the direction with which to sort it.
