- Implement -sort (-s) for name, date, and version. - Fix version collation using numeric $List segments (e.g., 0.10 > 0.2). - Add descending order support via -desc suffix (e.g., v-d, d-d). - Support power-user shortforms (n, d, v) for all sort modes. - Update help documentation with usage examples.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Just a few minor things. Thanks for tackling this and all the other issues! I promise to actually get your changes merged once we've sorted out all this IPM regression instability. (We're almost there...)

Enhanced Sorting for
list-installedOverview
This PR introduces a new
-sort(shortcut-s) modifier to thelist-installedcommand. It allows users to organize their installed modules by Name, Installation Date, or Semantic Version, significantly improving manageability for environments with many packagesfixes: #1071
Features Added
Three New Sort Modes:
name: Alphabetical sorting (case-insensitive).date: Chronological sorting based on when the module was installed.version: Semantic version sorting (handling Major.Minor.Patch logic).Descending Order Support: Added a
-desc(or-d) suffix to all sort modes to reverse the output.Power-User Shortcuts: Implemented shorthand notation for faster CLI usage:
n,n-d(Name)d,d-d(Date)v,v-d(Version)Testing Performed
Verified all combinations of sort keys and directions via the ZPM shell:
list -s v-dcorrectly places version4.1.2above1.0.1.list -s d-dplaces the most recently installed module at the top.list -s n-d) resolve correctly to their full counterparts.
