Azure Table PHP Retrieve Latest Data First with Pagination

I am using this:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-table-php

to insert data to azure table.

However, when I retrieve the data, I don’t get the latest entries unless I use a do...while loop, as shown in the commented section of the function below.

My question is:

How can I retrieve the latest data while using pagination? I want the newest records to always appear first in the list, and then use the continuation token to load the next set of results. I don't want to use the do..while as it will retrieve all the data from the azure table at once.

I have also implemented this function(invertedTicksRowKey) to use the value as rowKey:

function invertedTicksRowKey(): string
{
    $now = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
    $ticks = ($now->format('U') * 10000000) + ($now->format('u') * 10) + 621355968000000000;
    $inverted = 9223372036854775807 - $ticks;

    $suffix = bin2hex(random_bytes(4)); // 8-char hex
    return str_pad($inverted, 19, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT) . '-' . $suffix;
}

public function get_table_data(string $tableName, int $pageSize = 1000, ?TableContinuationToken $continuationToken = null, $filter = []): array
{
   
    try {
        $allData = [];
        $token = $continuationToken;

        //do {
            $options = new QueryEntitiesOptions();
            $options->setTop($pageSize);

            // Build combined filter
            $filters = [];
            if (!empty($filter['date_range_filter'])) {
                $filters[] = $filter['date_range_filter'];
            }
            if (!empty($filter['function'])) {
                $filters[] = "PartitionKey eq '" . $filter['function'] . "'";
            }

            if ($filters) {
                $filterString = implode(' and ', $filters);
                $options->setFilter(Filter::applyQueryString($filterString));
            }

            if ($token) {
                $options->setContinuationToken($token);
            }

            $result = $this->_tableClient->queryEntities($tableName, $options);
            $token = $result->getContinuationToken();

            $entities = $result->getEntities();

            foreach ($entities as $entity) {
                $row = [];
                foreach ($entity->getProperties() as $key => $prop) {
                    $row[$key] = $prop->getValue();
                }
                $row['PartitionKey'] = $entity->getPartitionKey();
                $row['RowKey'] = $entity->getRowKey();
                $row['Timestamp'] = $entity->getTimestamp();
                $allData[] = $row;
            }


        //} while ($token !== null);

        // Sort newest first by RowKey (smallest = newest)
        usort($allData, fn($a, $b) => strcmp($a['RowKey'], $b['RowKey']));

        return [
            'data' => $allData,
            'continuationToken' => $token
        ];

    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        log_message('error', 'Azure Table query failed: ' . $e->getMessage());
        return ['data' => [], 'continuationToken' => null];
    }
