Learn more about [Shopify API search syntax](https://shopify.dev/api/usage/search-syntax).
• reverse: Boolean - Reverse the order of the underlying list.
• sortKey: EventSortKeys - Sort the underlying list using a key. If your query is slow or returns an error, then [try specifying a sort key that matches the field used in the search](https://shopify.dev/api/usage/pagination-graphql#search-performance-considerations).

Returns

• edges: EventEdge! The connection between the node and its parent. Each edge contains a minimum of the edge's cursor and the node.
• nodes: Event! A list of nodes that are contained in EventEdge. You can fetch data about an individual node, or you can follow the edges to fetch data about a collection of related nodes. At each node, you specify the fields that you want to retrieve.
• pageInfo: PageInfo! An object that’s used to retrieve [cursor information](https://shopify.dev/api/usage/pagination-graphql) about the current page.
