Using PowerShell to extract SharePoint ListItems and Export into CSV

Question

I have been trying to export SharePoint List Items in CSV file after applying Group By & Sorting as provided in below PowerShell Script.

$dt=$ListItems.GetDataTable()
$go=$dt | Group-Object "ProjectName"
$ad=$go | Sort-Object -Property {$_.Values[0]},{$_.Count} -Descending
$ad | Select-Object -Property {$_.Values[0]},{$_.Count} | Export-CSV "D:\ProjectInfo.csv" -NoTypeInformation

The above code generating an CSV file where "ProjectName & Count" field in output CSV is not in Descending Order as mentioned below. Project10-8 Project11-12 Instead, output CSV file should generate "ProjectName & Count" field as shown below Project11-12 Project10-8 Please help me how to export CSV file with an Descending order | | | -------- |

Hi @Whizkidgps,

Change $go | Sort-Object -Property {$_.Values[0]},{$_.Count} -Descending to $go | Sort-Object -Property Count -Descending in your code and the script will work perfectly.
