    You can achieve this without making any other call.  You can sort the array using freemarker sort_by object, however, the array should be in a required format. 

     

    http://freemarker.apache.org/docs/ref_builtins_sequence.html#ref_builtin_sort_by

     

     

    <#assign solutions = restadmin("2.0","/search?q=" + "SELECT solution_data, is_solution, post_time FROM messages WHERE is_solution = true AND category.id = '${catID}' ORDER BY post_time DESC LIMIT 6"?url) />

    <#assign sortedMessagesList = [] />

    <#list solutions.data.items as solution >
    <#assign sortedMessagesList = sortedMessagesList + [{'solution_time': solution.solution_data.time , 'message':solution}] />
    </#list>

    ASCENDING
    <#list sortedMessagesList?sort_by("solution_time") as solution >
    <#assign solution_id = solution.message.solution_data.message_id />
    <#assign solution_time = solution.message.solution_data.time />
    <div class="item-content">
    ${solution_id} - ${solution_time}
    </div>
    </#list>

    DESENCDING
    <#list sortedMessagesList?sort_by("solution_time")?reverse as solution >
    <#assign solution_id = solution.message.solution_data.message_id />
    <#assign solution_time = solution.message.solution_data.time />
    <div class="item-content">
    ${solution_id} - ${solution_time}
    </div>
    </#list>
