How to sort results of CRM API response

How to sort results of CRM API response

I'm requesting records from CRM API inside a custom Creator Page using code like this:

apiUrl = "https://crm.zoho.com/crm/private/json/CustomModule3/searchRecords?newFormat=1&authtoken=XXXXXXXXXXXX&scope=crmapi&criteria=(Device_ID:99999999999)&sortColumnString=ID&sortOrderString=desc";
apiResponse = getUrl(apiUrl);

I need the records to be listed in DESC ID order. So the most recently entered record will show up first in the list.

How can I accomplish this as the searchRecords method does not seem to support sorting.
