How to filter song artist

Hi Eli,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I'm building an app that shows different versions/rendition of a song. The data that I need from the API is as follows:

1. Who was the original artist of the song and what year it was released
2. Original artist details / biography / artist location
3. Genre of the song version and artist

With this, I figure that its necessary to do multiple API requests in order to get the data needed.

The problem that I'm facing now is how do I tell who was the original artist. If only I can sort the song by the year it was released, that would solve the problem. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for you advise :)
