As an SRE, I deploy a lot of hcloud resources automatically via the hcloud API and use the cli to validate those changes. I am deploying using immutable VMs rather than phoenix deployments (instead of updating existing VMs, I re-create them with the newest config) Since I am using the API in automation to create hcloud resources, my hcloud resources include Ids in their name, making it a mess sometimes to figure out which is the newest VM. To know which VM got deployed when, I often find myself using the hcloud-cli like this: ```bash $ hcloud server list -s name -o 'columns=name,status,created,ipv4,ipv6' NAME STATUS CREATED IPV4 IPV6 cedi-dev-control-plane-xxxxx running Sun Nov 13 13:43:05 CET 2022 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 2a01:4f8:xxxx:xxxx::/64 cedi-dev-control-plane-xxxxx running Sun Nov 13 13:51:46 CET 2022 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 2a01:4f8:xxxx:xxxx::/64 cedi-dev-control-plane-xxxxx running Sun Nov 13 13:40:22 CET 2022 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 2a01:4f8:xxxx:xxxx::/64 cedi-dev-worker-cxp31-xxxxx running Wed Nov 9 17:15:32 CET 2022 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 2a01:4f8:xxxx:xxxx::/64 cedi-dev-worker-cxp31-xxxxx running Wed Nov 9 17:26:36 CET 2022 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 2a01:4f8:xxxx:xxxx::/64 cedi-dev-worker-cxp31-xxxxx running Wed Nov 9 16:46:55 CET 2022 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 2a01:4f8:xxxx:xxxx::/64 cedi-dev-worker-cxp31-xxxxx running Sun Nov 13 14:02:41 CET 2022 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 2a01:4f8:xxxx:xxxx::/64 ``` However, I noticed the `created` column contains the "raw" create DateTime string which is good for computers to read, but bad for humans. Using the hcloud dashboard in my browser, I can see the created timestamp as a Duration since `time.Now()`: <img width="215" alt="Screenshot 2022-11-13 at 14 17 18" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1952599/201523632-35a91d6d-4039-4469-a308-6c2355f70652.png"> With this commit I add a "age" column to the output of hcloud cli: ```bash $ hcloud server list ID NAME STATUS IPV4 IPV6 PRIVATE NET DATACENTER AGE 25550867 cedi-dev-control-plane-xxxxx running xxx.xxx.xx.xxx 2a01:4f8:xxxx:xxxx::/64 10.0.0.x (cedi-dev) fsn1-dcxx 2d 25551100 cedi-dev-control-plane-xxxxx running xx.xx.xxx.xx 2a01:4f8:xxx:xxxx::/64 10.0.0.x (cedi-dev) fsn1-dcxx 2d 25551348 cedi-dev-worker-cxp31-xxxxx running xx.xx.xx.xxx 2a01:4f8:xxxx:xxxx::/64 10.0.0.x (cedi-dev) fsn1-dcxx 2d 25586128 cedi-dev-worker-cxp31-xxxxx running xx.xx.xxx.xx 2a01:4f8:xxxx:xxxx::/64 10.0.0.x (cedi-dev) fsn1-dcxx 1d 25586289 cedi-dev-control-plane-xxxxx running xxx.xx.xx.xx 2a01:4f8:xxxx:xxxx::/64 10.0.0.x (cedi-dev) fsn1-dcxx 1d 25588261 cedi-dev-worker-cxp31-xxxxx running xxx.xx.xxx.xxx 2a01:4f8:xxx:xxxx::/64 10.0.0.x (cedi-dev) fsn1-dcxx 23h ``` I also added the "age" column to the "default_columns" in most commands

I am a heavy user of the hcloud-cli. However, I really don't like the default sorting by server-id, and would prefer sorting by age (see hetznercloud#417/hetznercloud#420) or name. Currently, I always type `hcloud server list -s name` to sort by name. since the `-s` flag is part of the `list` subcommand and not the `hcloud` base command (like in many other software that makes use of the Cobra framework), I cannot simply `alias hcloud-"hcloud -s name"` in my shell to default the sorting to "by name". This commit adds a `[defaults]` section to the config toml which allows to override the default sorting behavior for individual `hcloud` subcommands. The following behavior is used to determine the sorting-order | config file | flag | result | |-------------|---------|----------------------| | not-set | not-set | sort by id (default) | | not-set | set | sort by flag value | | set | not-set | sort by config value | | set | set | sort by flag value |
