Hmm. I'm pretty sure the sorting on the /publications/ endpoint is misbehaving

    >>> len(data)

    247423

    >>> data[0]

    191534

    >>> data[-1]

    191549

    >>> min(data)

    1

    >>> max(data)

    267051

    >>>

It doesn't sort, the order is arbitrary. Sorting is expensive. Users can sort on their side, if they need to.

It's also likely that endpoint will go away. I'm having a hard time thinking of a scenario where it's necessary or useful. Bulk downloading hubski data maybe; but if we want to support that, we can provide a more efficient method.
