The Dropbox API /2/files/list_folder[/continue] endpoints do not offer an ordering option, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. 

The entries returned by /2/files/list_folder[/continue] are returned in the order needed to retrieve an accurate representation of the state of the Dropbox account, so make sure you process them in the order received, per the /2/files/list_folder documentation. Once you retrieve all of the returned entries, you can sort them as desired client-side.
