Abdera: Sort the entries by edited date

Feed interface provides ‘sortEntriesByEdited’ method to sort the entries by edited date.

Feed sortEntriesByEdited(boolean new_first)

If new_first is set to true, then the latest edited entries comes first, if new_first is set to false, then the latest edited entries comes last.

Following is the complete working application.
