Order By query param

When sending a request with pagination within to API endpoints, there is no sorting, for example, according to the vote_average field.
So, why is there no similar query parameter, for example
api.themoviedb.org/3/trending/movie/week?page=2&order-by=vote_average

Hi @gurkantuna,
For the trending data, this is by design. Trending is only useful to view in its original trending order. If you want more flexibility (although, there is no trending data) you should look at discover.
