Hi,

We want to be able to fetch the most recently added or modified records for a custom object. This is very common functionality useful for building polling triggers, where newly added or modified records can be processed and sent to other systems.

> **[Accounts Dashboard | HubSpot](https://app.hubspot.com/myaccounts?next=developerdocs&redirect=%2Fapi-reference%2Fcrm-custom-objects-v3%2Fguide)**

The “list” endpoint doesn’t have any sorting. The “search” endpoint does have a sort parameter, but the documentation doesn’t say how to use it or how to control the direction of sorting.  
Is there a way to fetch custom object records sorted by either most recently added or most recently updated? Or do custom objects provide webhooks?

Hey @APIANT

I just ran a quick test with the Search endpoint with this simple payload:

```lia-code-sample
{
 "sorts": [{
 "propertyName":"hs_lastmodifieddate",
 "direction": "DESCENDING"
 }
 ],
 "limit": 10,
 "after": 0
}

```

More details on search can be found [here](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/search?_ga=2.56351019.1059212467.1604502924-1273358196.1598626193)
