By default, results will be in the order the underlying source control system returns them and identical to the ordering one sees when running ”$ git branch —list”. Note that this follows simple lexical ordering of the ref names.

This can be undesirable as it does apply any natural sorting semantics, meaning for instance that tags are sorted [“v10”, “v11”, “v9”] instead of [“v9”, “v10”, “v11”].

Sorting can be changed using the ?q= query parameter. When using ?q=name to explicitly sort on ref name, Bitbucket will apply natural sorting and interpret numerical values as numbers instead of strings.

Parameters​

ParameterDescription
Query StringQuery string to narrow down the response as perfiltering and sorting.
Repo SlugThis can either be the repository slug or the UUID of the repository,surrounded by curly-braces, for example: {repository UUID}.
SortField by which the results should be sorted as perfiltering and sorting. The namefield is handled specially for branches in that, if specified as the sort field, ituses a natural sort order instead of the default lexicographical sort order. For example,it will return [‘branch1’, ‘branch2’, ‘branch10’] instead of [‘branch1’, ‘branch10’, ‘branch2’].
Workspace SlugThis can either be the workspace ID (slug) or the workspace UUIDsurrounded by curly-braces, for example: {workspace UUID}.
