<br>
Thank you for continuing to pursue this.  Adding this functionality and having it consistent will be a good thing.<br>
<br>
The plan for Cinder looks good to me and is consistent with Mike and Duncan's input.<br>
<br>
I look forward to seeing patches for Cinder.<br>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">This is a follow up thread to [1]</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In order to have consistency across clients, I am proposing that the client side sorting has the following syntax: --sort <key>[:<direction>]</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Where the --sort parameter is comma-separated and is used to specify one or more sort keys and directions. The direction defaults to 'desc' for each sort key and the user can supply 'asc' to override.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">For example:</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">  nova list --sort display_name</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">  nova list --sort display_name,vm_state</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">  nova list --sort display_name:asc,vm_state:asc</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">If approved, then the following changes are needed for glance and cinder (note that nova already uses this syntax):</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">  Cinder: Deprecate --sort_key and --sort_dir and add support for --sort</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">  Glance: Modify [2] to this new syntax</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I have not verified how all other projects handle sorting, there may be other projects that would also need to be changed.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thoughts?  Objections?</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Also, if there is a more formal way to propose/review this standard please let me know.</span><br>
