From pypi/legacy#171

Originally reported by: Aaron Meurer (Bitbucket: asmeurer, GitHub: asmeurer)

One thing that the json API lacks compared to the xmlrpc API is the ordering of releases. In the json API, the releases are keys in a dictionary, and hence unordered.

The tarballs have upload times, but a release can have multiple tarballs, and also if I'm not mistaken you can upload a tarball to an old release.

The xmlrpc API has package_releases(package_name, show_hidden=False). The json API could have a package_releases key with a list of releases. I don't know how to handle hidden releases.

Recommending closing both, since JSON is explicitly unordered, and Python's behavior provides the desired end result.
