Kubernetes sorts containers by age

Question

I can sort my Cuban cubes by name using:

kubectl get pods --sort-by=.metadata.name 

How can I sort them (or other resources) by age using kubectl ?

Answer 1

Pods have a status that you can use to find out startTime.

I think something like kubectl get po --sort-by=.status.startTime should work.

You can also try kubectl get po --sort-by='{.firstTimestamp}' .

Also, apparently, version 1.7 cancels sorting.
