Please bring back the --sort option

What's going wrong?

The --sort option is no longer available in PM2 4.2.
I have many processes running and usually use "pm2 delete all" to have the process ids reindexed from zero; and run "pm2 list --sort id" to see them in order. It's great that --sort option was in version 3.5 but it's sad now that --sort option is no longer in version 4.2.
Please bring the --sort option back.

How could we reproduce this issue?

Use PM2 3.5, run: pm2 list --sort id
[A table with rows sorted by id]

Use PM2 4.2, run: pm2 list --sort id
error: unknown option `--sort'
