No, Dropbox doesn't offer a way to specify a particular order or otherwise request only items modified after a certain date from /2/files/list_folder[/continue], but I'll pass these along as feature requests as well. I can't promise if/when they'd be implemented though.

    Any update on this,
    It's been 1 year and we are facing lots of issues.
    Even though we need only the last 1 month files, we need to get all files for all the users in the domain which was not required and taking more time and more API hits.

      No, I don't have an update on this feature request.
