Contacts API add "Id" to $sort options
When "merging" Contacts data to a local database (i.e. iterating both in parallel and applying changes from WA) it would be very helpful to have the API return contact objects sorted by Id. Currently they are returned in a "random" order. This means that in order to apply updates efficiently I have to cache the entire result set so I can process it in ID sequence to match my local database.

This is something that can easily done in your code with a sort() function before processing the data. Make.com has this function.

I know this is an older thread, but I wanted to add my support for this. Sorting by ID would make incremental sync way more efficient without caching everything. Has anyone from WildApricot acknowledged this request, or found a workaround?
