Default Sort Property

Using PowerShell, I am trying to understand the concept of a default sort property.

According to this example, for the Sort-Object command:

 PS C:\>get-childitem | sort-object

Because no properties are specified, Sort-Object uses the default sort property for objects of type file and directory , which is Name .

Is there any way to find out for any given type, which is the default sort property?

In my understanding, the default property is taken from the .ps1XML file for predefined types. But I did not find anything about it in about_Format.PS1XML

For this question, I believe that the default elements are defined here in the path: C: \ Windows \ System32 \ WindowsPowerShell \ v1.0 \ FileSystem.format.ps1xml
