I have been trying to search the inventory of a specific physical store.

Is it possible to retrieve products for a specific store via the Storefront API?

I have been using the Admin API to retrieve the individual store and then retrieve its inventoryLevels. However, it is quite frustrating that that the retrieved InventoryLevel objects can’t be sorted. Overall I’m pretty frustrated by the inconsistencies between the two APIs.
