ISSUE#67
A new argument for sorting data (order_by=fieldname) was added to the API
service. With this addition I removed all default sorting in the API and
instead rely on the user of the API to specify a field to sort on if they
would like data sorted.

This required updating the mcapi service to allow additional args to
be passed in, and updating the calls that used to implicitly rely
on the sorting without asking for it.
