Obscure, please refactor for legibility

[edo9k]

Hi, this is a bit obscure, specially for anyone new to Javascript, I'm not sure when you're going to make a new version, or if you can put a note there on Udemy... but maybe refactoring this to make it more legible could help your students.

if (req.query.sortBy) {
  const parts = req.query.sortBy.split(':')
  sort[parts[0]] = parts[1] === 'desc' ? -1 : 1
}
