Add configuration options for sorting

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

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

**Priority**: Low/Medium

First resolve the mismatch between the title's sorting request and the body’s monitoring request. Then locate the route handling and existing configuration or monitoring entry points; the work is done when the intended options, sensible defaults, and their expected behavior are clearly defined and implemented.
