Re: Git tag output order is incorrect (IMHO)

Hi Day,

I am aware of that command as well.

I think `git tag` current default order is string-based sorting. I
felt version-number based sorting and/or create-date based sorting
will be more appropriate.

I am posting here first time, so please excuse me if this is not right
place to send something like this.

Please check -

And also - https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/4565

IMHO "git tag" is expected to show tag-list ordered by versions.

It may be case, that people do not follow same version numbering
convention. Most people after x.9.x increment major version (that is why
they may not be affected because of this)

Another option like "git tag --date-asc" can be added which will print
tags by creation date. (As long as people do not create backdated tag, this
will work).

Try

git for-each-ref --sort=committerdate --format='%(refname:short)'
refs/tags
