TL;DR

Please add the ability to sort the json output from https://mods.factorio.com/api/mods, possibly only by last updated date. (I don't care about the rest)

What ?

In viewtopic.php?f=6&t=87788 I was told to use the mod json API to pull lists of mods for another project I'm working on, however the API does not provide a method of filtering the results, meaning that my project will have to download all mods each time, sort them on my end, and then do what I want to do with them, even if I only need 10-20 mods instead of all of them.

Why ?

Efficiency. We're all better off not wasting bandwidth and CPU cycles tossing unnecessary data around.

Just deployed an update which makes this possible: https://mods.factorio.com/api/mods?sort ... order=desc
