Do a search for "gun control" on the API:

https://api.whitehouse.gov/v1/petitions.jsonp?title=gun%20control

Results are returns in date created order. Please consider adding other sorting options? It would be AWESOME to see the results sorted by:

It would probably be incredible to see the data sorted by other parameters, but the most interesting to me is by signatureCount, which really would indicate popularity to me.

Interesting ideas - the team's culling through issues and feedback from the hackathon, we'll see about getting this into the queue.

Thanks, Peter -- it would really assist in finding popular petitions in the instant search especially.
