WordPress REST 2.0 - Media/Post orderby=order

[spiritofelric]

Is it possible to update Media requests to orderby the order field in the post table? It looks like it's already indexed for this purpose.

Seems easy to do:
wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-posts-controller.php
+881: 'order' => 'post_order',
+ 2163: 'order',

This would be useful for queries such as:
​http://wpdistillery.vm/wp-json/wp/v2/media?parent=121&orderby=order

Thanks

The order column for attachments is already usable through the WP REST API, but it is mapped to the argument menu_order, not post_order.

So, this should already work as expected if you query against menu_order instead of post_order.
