Steven, This sounds like a perfect place for a cross project spec. It wouldn't have to be a big one, but all the projects would have a chance to review and the TC would oversee to ensure it gets proper review.
TCms, am I on point here? --Rocky From: Jay S.

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

The direction defaults to 'desc' for each sort key and the user can supply 'asc' to override. For example: nova list --sort display_name nova list --sort display_name,vm_state nova list --sort display_name:asc,vm_state:asc If approved, then the following changes are needed for glance and cinder (note that nova already uses this syntax): Cinder: Deprecate --sort_key and --sort_dir and add support for --sort Glance: Modify [2] to this new syntax I have not verified how all other projects handle sorting, there may be other projects that would also need to be changed. Thoughts? Objections? Also, if there is a more formal way to propose/review this standard please let me know.
