Need longtask REST API to return most recent data first

Problem

There are some points that could be enhanced on longtask REST API call:

https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/latest/#longtask-getTask

There seems to be a number of problems with this API

1. There is no timestamp
2. The data returned seems to be randomly ordered in terms of time it was generated - I am inferring the time from the message generated
3. One would expect the data to be Last in First out or at least an option for that
4. The documentation doesn't indicate how/when tasks expire and are no longer are retrievable. More specifically, if I am looking through the list for specific types of entries, how do I know when to stop looking through the list?
5. The API does not have a field to indicate how may total tasks there are in the total list like most APIs like this.

Suggestion:
Implement the features request above in the rest api call

Example of call:
https://pece.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/longtask

{"results":[],"start":0,"limit":100,"size":0,"_links":{"self":"https://pece.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/longtask","base":"https://pece.atlassian.net/wiki","context":"/wiki"}}

Workaround:
None
