If I better understand your question, you can download two successive satellite data (Path and row wise) for your study area and just mosaic it. hopefully, it will helpful for your work.
Weiheng Xu mentioned the correct key, but I don't think that sorting would be the best option in this case. I would suggest to define the cloud cover percentage, for example .filterMetadata('CLOUD_COVER', 'less_than', 30)
The ImageCollection.first() method is not sufficient by itself for sorting and extracting more than one image. Please look into ee.Array() (https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/arrays_intro). Cast the ImageCollection to an Array and then access the Image IDs via indices.
