Server-Side Operations

Backend sorting and filtering

Large datasets require server-side operations.

When to use server-side:

Dataset too large to load fully
Need database-level sorting/filtering
Real-time data

API design:

GET /api/users?sort=name&order=asc&filter[status]=active&page=2&limit=25

Response includes: Data, total count, pagination info.

Loading states: Show skeleton or spinner while fetching.

Optimistic UI: Apply sort/filter immediately to current data while fetching updated data.
