# Query by Type
Here we discuss how to query all the documents of a certain custom type from your content repository.
## By One Type
### Example 1
This first example shows how to query all of the documents of the custom type "blog-post". The option included in this query will sort the results by their "date" field (from most recent to the oldest).
```ruby
response = api.query(
Prismic::Predicates.at("document.type", "blog-post"),
{ "orderings" => "[my.blog-post.date desc]" }
)
# response is the response object, response.results holds the documents
```
### Example 2
The following example shows how to query all of the documents of the custom type "video-game". The options will make it so that the results are sorted alphabetically, limited to 10 games per page, and showing the second page of results.
```ruby
response = api.query(
Prismic::Predicates.at("document.type", "video-game"),
{ "pageSize" => 10, "page" => 2, "orderings" => "[my.video-game.title]" }
)
# response is the response object, response.results holds the documents
```
## By Multiple Types
This example shows how to query all of the documents of two different custom types: "article" and "blog_post".
```ruby
response = api.query(
Prismic::Predicates.any("document.type", ["article", "blog_post"])
)
# response is the response object, response.results holds the documents
```
