Starting with v4.0, the addAdvertiser function will return full details of the newly created advertiser, instead of just {“OK”}.

Sorting 'Lst' output
Version 5.2.0 (released April 18, 2024)) introduced the ability to sort the output of the 'list' feature by any of the available columns (in ascending or descending order), and to limit the number of rows of the output. This is supported for the List output of any of the categories.
Please see the generic Documentation for the sort order output of lists.
