# Removing unnecessary `RELEVANCE` sort options

`RELEVANCE` will no longer be included in connection sort options by default as of `2025-04` API versions. This will eliminate cases where the option offered no unique behavior, and acted as a basic `ID` sort. Legitimate cases where this option provides unique capabilities and services regular traffic will not change.
