The `sort` parameter is used to sort results:

This query returns policies with `rules.type` equals `Mutation` in alphabetical order:

```sh
nctl raw "/policies/api/policy?filter=rules.type,equals,Mutation&fields=id,name&sort=name,asc" | jq
```

**results:**
```json
[
  {
    "id": "668bbd6a-c433-41a2-ab1d-325120ed14f2",
    "name": "check-images"
