Add the ability to sort Flow/Source listings #189
Description
Description
It would be useful to be able to sort the list of Flows and Sources to aid in building UIs - e.g. by providing a query string parameter
Note this is also tracked as https://jira.dev.bbc.co.uk/browse/CLOUDFIT-5486
Use Case
As an NLE TAMS plugin vendor, I'd like to present a useful list of Flows and Sources to the user. However returning them in an unstable order or sorting by pulling the entire list and then sorting clientside lead to inefficiency or bad user experience
Action
- Write an ADR covering these broad options:
- No sorting - all clientside
- Sorting by any of the query string parameters already in the spec
- Fixed default sort by most recent
metadata_updated - Optional sort by
metadata_updated
- Draft the spec changes for one of the simple options
Outcome
- ADR PR
- Possibly with spec change...

After some discussion, it seems option (2) is probably more complexity than we want, and fails "TAMS is not a MAM" as a principle. So option (3) or (4) probably make sense.

There's now a draft ADR for approaches to this for us to decide on the preferred approach. Review comments very welcome on this one
