(committee-print): sort by `updateDate` #213

Open ryparker opened 3 months ago

ryparker commented 3 months ago

The committee-print list API currently returns items that are not in any particular order (that I recognize). It would be ideal if there was a sort option, but at the least it would be helpful for caching purposes if all list APIs sorted by updateDate.

e.g.

curl --location 'https://api.congress.gov/v3/committee-print/118?format=json&api_key=<API_KEY>'

@apreiter18 Would you prefer I open one issue for this and just list all the APIs that currently do not support this? Or would you rather I create a separate issue for each API like I have with

@ryparker - you can create new issues if you prefer. Thanks!
