# Orders with the since\_id parameter are now sorted by order ID

Prior to September 18, 2017, requests to GET /admin/orders.json including the `since_id` parameter would return a list of orders sorted by `created_at`. This would present problems when multiple orders were created within the same second, as results wouldn't dependably return in the same order on subsequent requests. Going forward, orders with the `since_id` parameter will correctly be sorted by order ID, even if the orders were processed at identical `created_at` times.
