(house-communication): sort by `updateDate`

[ryparker]

The house-communication 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/house-communication/118?format=json&api_key=<API_KEY>'
