Hi @pombredanne,
I worked on this issue and implemented descending sorting for vulnerabilities so that newer entries appear first in the API responses.
Approach
Since there is no explicit timestamp field available, I used
vulnerability_idas a proxy for ordering, assuming higher IDs correspond to more recent entries.The sorting has been applied across relevant API querysets, including:
For packages, I did not introduce sorting as there does not appear to be a clear field representing recency. Please let me know if a specific field should be used.
Please let me know if this approach aligns with the intended solution or if a different field or strategy should be preferred.
Fixes #1754
Thank you!
