Comment (by lukechilds):

 Re use case, it was requested that there be a way to list the newest
 relays on the network on Tor Explorer as these relays have a lower chance
 of being blacklisted:
 https://github.com/lukechilds/tor-explorer/issues/5

 I've got it working by getting all details docs from
 https://onionoo.torproject.org/details and ordering locally. The thing is
 Onionoo takes around 15 seconds to respond with all this info and it's
 over 2MB of JSON to sort through. I don't think it's really a viable
 solution.

 I only need the top ten for the first page, so it would be much more
 elegant if I could tell Onionoo to order by `first_seen` and then limit to
 10. Then for the next page do the same query but offset by 10 etc.

 The main value I think would be useful would be `first_seen`, however I
 was thinking of adding a drop down box to Tor Explorer to allow the user
 to order by whichever properties they want. Obviously if that's going to
 be a lot of effort on the Onionoo end then it's probably not worth it.
