Backdrops order in /3/movie/[movie_id]/images

Hello,
The order of backdrops in the api does not reflect the rating on tmdb website. The website order them by rating apparently and they are ordered by date in the api. It might make sense to have them ordered by rating too.

Hi maxiloc,
As is the case with pretty much every array returned in our API, we don't explicitly order anything. Since the entire array is being returned and there's no pagination, it's easy enough for you to sort them locally.
Cheers.
