Use SortCriteria to specify how search results should be ordered.

`sortKey`	`sortFields` (enumeration of type string)	The field name to use for sorting the search results. Valid values are the same as for the `field` parameter. See Valid field Values.	Required	66.0

This example is a sample response from the searchCI query.

Name	Type	Description	Available Version
`totalCount`	Integer	The total number of configuration item records that match the search criteria across all pages, regardless of pagination.	66.0
`hasMoreRecords`	Boolean	Indicates whether additional pages of results are available. Returns true if there are more records beyond the current page, false if this is the last page.	66.0
`data`	[CI]	An array of configuration item objects returned for the current page of results. Each object contains the fields requested in the query for matching configuration items.	66.0
`lastModifiedOn`	String	The date and time the record was last updated.	68.0

When using the searchCI operation, you can request any available attribute to be included in the response. The attributes you can include:

Standard Attributes: Many attributes are available out-of-the-box.
Custom Attributes: You can create and include custom attributes using the sObject API.

Add any attribute using its Developer Name (for example, SD_AsNa—Asset Name) to specify exactly which information you want to receive for your Configuration Items (CIs).
