How to query for an artists latest release using Apple Music API

Hi all - quick question regarding the Apple Music API.

I would like to query for an artists most recent album so that I can feature that release more prominently within my app. Looking at the API docs, I could hit an endpoint such as this: https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/us/artists/669831761/albums and that would return all the albums related to that artist.

However, it appears that the albums aren't sorted in chronological order, so it seems that I would have to paginate through every page and sort these results to find the most recent release. Is there a better method? I feel like this is a very ineffective practice and would like to hear any possible alternatives, thank you!
Hi jlewallen18, have you found anything so far?
I was also trying to find a better alternative but I'm still stuck with making multiple calls to retrieve all the albums, sorting them and then finding the most recent release. Bummer.

This is undocumented, but through experimentation I found that adding '&sort=-releaseDate' will return the most recent albums in descending order. Use '&sort=releaseDate' to get ascending order. It only works for the artists/$id/albums endpoint, not artists/$id/songs.
