**What**
Fixed a bug in the prepareListQuery function where nested field ordering was not properly building the expected nested object structure. The function was returning flat objects like { "employee.first_name": "ASC" } instead of the correct nested structure { "employee": { "first_name": "ASC" } }.
**Why**
The buildOrder function is designed to create nested objects from dot-notation field paths, which is essential for proper query building in the Medusa framework. When this functionality was broken, it prevented correct ordering of related fields and caused queries to fail or return unexpected results.
**How**
- Root cause: The `prepareListQuery` function was not properly utilizing the `buildOrder` utility function to transform dot-notation field paths into nested objects
- Before: order = "employee.first_name" → { "employee.first_name": "ASC" }
- After: order = "employee.first_name" → { "employee": { "first_name": "ASC" } }
- Added comprehensive tests: Created detailed unit tests for the prepareListQuery function focusing on buildOrder functionality, covering various scenarios including:
- Simple ascending/descending order
- Nested field ordering (e.g., product.title)
- Deeply nested ordering (e.g., product.variants.prices.amount)
- Multiple nesting levels (up to 5 levels deep)
- Added integration tests: Created integration tests in `product.spec.ts` to verify the full end-to-end functionality of nested ordering with variant titles
The fix ensures that the buildOrder function properly transforms dot-notation field paths into the expected nested object structure, enabling correct query building for related field ordering throughout the Medusa framework.

What is Medusa
Medusa is an ecommerce platform with a built-in framework for customization that allows you to build custom commerce applications without reinventing core commerce logic. The framework and modules can be used to build advanced B2B or DTC ecommerce stores, marketplaces, PoS systems, service businesses, or any product that needs foundational commerce primitives. All commerce modules are open-source and freely available on npm.
