Sort on REST API by `createdTime` without adding new Column

[Alex_Rothberg]

Is it possible to request results from the REST be sorted by the createdTime (which is returned on the payload) without needing to add a new column to the table? i.e. right now if I pass createdTime to sort, I get back an error: [Error: {\'type\': \'UNKNOWN_FIELD_NAME\', \'message\': \'Unknown field name: "createdTime"\'}]

Not currently. The sort parameters for the REST API only expect fields, so you need a field that contains the created time. It is a handy field to have around anyway.

Is there any way to create the field through the API? Or the only way is manually user enter the field type on the base?
