v3.70.0 (2026-01-05)
🚀 Features
- support qs-esm sort arrays in REST API (#15065) (2ccf898)
- richtext-lexical: adds docs page for lexical blocks, adds new lexical block component types and styles (#14971) (329115c)
Multi-Column REST API Sorting
Sort by multiple columns in the REST API using array syntax, aligning REST API behavior with the Local API. Previously only string-based sorting was supported. #15065
// Sort by multiple fields via REST API query string
// GET /api/posts?sort[0]=createdAt&sort[1]=-title
// Equivalent to Local API:
const posts = await payload.find({
collection: 'posts',
sort: ['createdAt', '-title'],
})Lexical Blocks Documentation & Component Styles (richtext-lexical)
New documentation page for Lexical blocks with comprehensive examples showing usage and customization. Also introduces new block component types and styles for enhanced rich text editing. #14971
See the https://payloadcms.com/docs/rich-text/blocks for full details.
