Will they get ordered ascending or descending?

Good point, I'll check the docs... but I think they do not specify
https://clear.ml/docs/latst/docs/references/sdk/task#taskget_tasks
From the code it seems the ordered is not guaranteed.
You can however pass '-last_update' : order_by which will give you the latest updated first
task_filter = { 'page_size': 2, 'page': 0, 'order_by': ['last_metrics.{}.{}'.format(title, series), '-last_update'] } Task.get_tasks(project_name='examples', task_filter=task_filter)
