sort and filter options on openstack image list

[Tim Bell]

The glance image-list command provides

- sorting by keys and selecting order
- filtering on properties

This is useful for performing operations on the metadata such as distribution and getting the latest image which matches.

Could this functionality be added to the "openstack image list" command ?

Is this a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-openstackclient/+bug/1401902 ?

This feels like an extension of 1401902 to me. We could split them along these lines:

https://review.openstack.org/145544 contains the likely-to-be-approved agreement on how the project CLIs will do the sorting options, we plan to be very close to this, if not exactly the same. A similar bit of work should be done for filtering, for OSC if not the other clients.

This feels like one or two blueprints are in order to scope the amount of work of adding --sort and --filter options to all of the list commands. In the mean time, doing image list as a POC would be OK with me.

Sorry, I'd forgotten that I had already raised the https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-openstackclient/+bug/1401902 one.

Feel free to close this one as a duplicate if it makes sense to do sorting and filtering in the same patch.

Can't seem to assign the bug to Zhiyuan, the name is not showing in the Change Assignee popup.
