Sorting as part of get List operation

[BatmanAoD]

kubectl supports sorting as part of the list operation for resources such as Deployments, but this doesn't appear to be supported in the API. Is there a way that kube could support this? (And does anyone know how kubectl provides features that the API doesn't?)

[clux]

sorting in kubectl is client side afaikt (sorter). the api does not support it.

there's a kubectl example that implements simplistic stuff like a partial kubectl get. it could implement sort on the iterator step here after the query.
