Add configuration options for encryption

**Description**
Currently routes lacks proper sorting support.

**Proposed solution**
Add configurable sorting with sensible defaults.

**Priority**: Low/Medium

The title mentions encryption, while the description asks for configurable route sorting; resolve that scope conflict before starting. The payload names no files, tests, or entry points, so locate the routing and configuration areas first, then define the intended defaults and confirm that configurable sorting works as proposed.
