API - Order and Sort project branches

We have implemented for our local instance of GitLab some multi-projects management tool. Part of it includes a relational database between projects, in order to maintain this database up-to-date we are scanning on a daily basis, all our projects/branches. Currently we have 10.000+ projects and some of them have 1000+ branches...

Would it be possible to have in the branches API, the same functionality as in projects API, i.e. the possibility to order_by and sort our results. This way, we would be able to only search and scan latest branches.
