Add sort parameter for returned results

[erasmospunk]

I have a use case that I need to get the first block of a specific date.

The endpoint /blocks returns the correct list but the block I need is in the end of that list so I have to paginate the whole list or search the previous day and search for the next_block. Both cases are sub-optimal.

If you know the specific block you want why don't you just request that instead?
Maybe I am missing something here, if you can provide more info I can maybe help you better.

Sorting is in our plans by the way.

+1 for sorting. I'm trying to retrieve the first transaction for an address. Sorting would make this trivial:

https://api.biteasy.com/blockchain/v1/transactions?address=ADDRESS_HASH&per_page=1&sort=ASC

Also it would be really nice if there was a bulk operation such as ?address=A1,A2...

Sorting is in our high priority plans but we are still working on a few backend improvements in order to support new features properly.

Yeah, this was bad choice not to support it from the start. Can you please open a new ticket? We might be able to implement it sooner than the sorting.
