sunny_mody - Yes, you can sort the topics using following snippet

 

<#assign topics = rest("/topics/style/forum/recent?restapi.response_style=view").messages />
        <#list topics.message?sort_by(["last_edit_time"])?reverse as sorted_topics>
	      ${sorted_topics.board_id} (${sorted_topics.last_edit_time.@view_date} ${sorted_topics.last_edit_time.@view_time})<br>
        </#list>

 The code highlighted in blue would sort it for you. Let me know if this helps.

    A word of caution about the proposed solution in the code snippet above. Using that approach will lead to the performance issues since the sorting is being made programmatically and NOT via the API. 

    As far as I know, it is NOT currently possible to sort topics by last edit time either with REST API v1 or v2.
