Using SPServices' GetListItems to sort by what the current user has "liked"

Question

I'm using getlistitems to grab list data in SharePoint 2013, and I've managed to be able to filter by the current user's "liked" list items... but is there a way to sort by what a user has liked and show those items first?

CAMLQuery for filtering by current users likes:

<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='LikedBy' /><Value Type='Integer'><UserID /></Value></Eq></Where>

Additionally is it possible to use updatelistitems to "like" an item?

You would do something like this (untested and going from memory):

$().SPServices({
  operation: "GetTagsofUser",
  userAccountName: $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({fieldName: "Name", debug: false}),
  completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
    console.log(xData.responseText);
  }
});
