    <description>&lt;P&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/list_folder&lt;/A&gt;[&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_self"&gt;/continue&lt;/A&gt;] endpoints do not offer an ordering option,&amp;nbsp;but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The entries returned by&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/list_folder&lt;/A&gt;[&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_self"&gt;/continue&lt;/A&gt;] are returned in the order needed to retrieve an accurate representation of the state of the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox account, so make sure you process them in the order received, per &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_self"&gt;the&amp;nbsp;/2/files/list_folder documentation&lt;/A&gt;. Once you retrieve all of the returned entries, you can sort them as desired client-side.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;That's correct. Note however that you don't need to re-list everything each time though. Once you retrieve the full listing, you can continue to store and re-use the latest cursor you&amp;nbsp;receive by calling&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/list_folder/continue&lt;/A&gt;, which will return only what's changed since you&amp;nbsp;received that cursor. Follow the instructions in&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;the&amp;nbsp;/2/files/list_folder documentation&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;to process those entries into the existing state.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
