(committee-report): sort by `updateDate` #224

Open ryparker opened 3 months ago

ryparker commented 3 months ago

The committee-report 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-report/118?format=json&api_key=<API_KEY>'
