Most JSON responses take the form of collections, which can be sorted by adding the orderBy query parameter. You can specify multiple fields by separating them with commas.

$ curl -s "https://apisandbox.dev.clover.com/v3/merchants/{mId}/items?orderBy=modifiedTime,price" --header "Authorization: Bearer {API_Token}" | python -mjson.tool

{
    "elements": [
        {
            "code": "",
            "defaultTaxRates": false,
            "hidden": false,
            "id": "V33H8XGTZCKNP",
            "isRevenue": true,
            "name": "Item Use",
            "price": 100,
            "priceType": "PER_UNIT",
            "unitName": "hr"
        },
        {
            "code": "",
            "defaultTaxRates": false,
            "hidden": false,
            "id": "EWKZEMNCBQQ9Y",
            "isRevenue": true,
            "name": "Nontax Item",
            "price": 100,
            "priceType": "FIXED",
            "unitName": "oz"
        },
...

The default sort order is descending by creation time. You can manually order by ascending or descending by inputting %20ASC or %20DESC, respectively.
