GET /todos (200) ? filter and _sortBy

Issue a GET request on the /todos end point with a query filter and a query parameter to sort the filtered todos.

• todo fields can be used as URL parameters to filter collection results
• _sortBy is the URL parameter used to sort collection results
• prefix a sort field with - to sort descending
• for example, doneStatus=false&_sortBy=-id returns only not done todos, sorted by id from highest to lowest

Basic Instructions

• Issue a GET request to end point "/todos"
  • https://apichallenges.eviltester.com/todos
• The request should have an X-CHALLENGER header to track challenge completion
• Add doneStatus=false and _sortBy=-id as URL parameters:
  • https://apichallenges.eviltester.com/todos?doneStatus=false&_sortBy=-id
• The response status code should be 200 because the request is accepted
• Check that all returned todos have doneStatus set to false, and that the ids are descending
