Sort yaml/json fields more helpfully when printing objects #10311
Closed
Description
When I do kubectl get foo/bar -o yaml, I see things like this:
apiVersion: v1beta3
foo: blah <------------- why is this before kind and metadata?
kind: bar
metadata:
creationTimestamp: 2015-06-24T21:09:17Z
name: myregistrykey <----- why isn't this first because it is the most important metadata.
namespace: default
resourceVersion: "1497"
selfLink: /api/v1beta3/namespaces/default/secrets/myregistrykey
uid: 46703fde-1ab5-11e5-b558-42010af0cf71
zlist:
- property: foo
name: bar <---------- why isn't name always first?
It appears that tags are sorted alphabetically.
I'd rather always see fields that are in all objects at the top, so apiVersion, kind, and metadata should come before any kind-specific fields. (In the above example, field foo comes before metadata).
And I'd rather see name as the first property in a list for which name is the merge key.
Maybe this is just my opinion.
