Rest assured response in ASC/DESC order

Question

Is there any ways to validate the response in order?

"user": [
            {
                "_id": "1",
                "age": 21,             
            },
            {
                "_id": "2",
                "age": 22,
            },
            {
                "_id": "7",
                "age": 30,
            }
]

I can get specific id value with following

 .body("user[0].id", some validation)  result: 1

When I do something like this I will get all the ids

.body("user.id", some validation)  result: [1,2,7]

Need a validation to verify the result is in DESC/ASC order

.body("user.id", isDescOrder()/isAscOrder())

You can use isInOrder(Iterable<? extends T> iterable, Comparator<T> comparator) in com.google.common.collect.Comparators.

List<String> user_IdList = given()
        .when()
        .get("api_url")
        .then()
        .extract()
        .jsonPath()
        .getList("user._id");

List<Integer> integerList = user_IdList
        .stream()
        .map(x-> Integer.parseInt(x))
        .collect(Collectors.toList());

boolean isInAscOrder = isInOrder(integerList, Ordering.natural());

Here isInAscOrder will be true. Because 1,2,7 are in ascending order.
