It would be good if there was a way to dynamically generate multiple paths from a list of substitutions. If you wanted to hit the same path multiple times with a different I'd for example currently you would need to add multiple definitions to the config file but it would be nice if this could be a bit more dynamic.

Currently arrays are being sorted by their stringified value, while this is better than comparing unsorted arrays in many situations it is still rather naff.

One solution for this would be to allow a key to be defined in the config that can be used when sorting arrays of objects.

E.g.

{
  "id": 1234,
  "name": "John Smith",
  "friends": [
    {
      "id": 7635,
      "name": "Sally Stephens"
    },
    {
      "id": 6320,
      "name": "Michael Travis"
    }
  ]
}

The id property here would be an ideal way to sort these objects so allowing the user to specify a sort key (or a sort key list that is priority based) would allow for sorting to be smarter.

If no keys are specified we could also look for common keys (such as id).
