Feature request: allow sorting to be configured globally
I am a heavy user of the hcloud-cli. However, I really don't like the default sorting by server-id, and would prefer sorting by age (see #417 where I request adding a computed "age" column) or name.
Currently, I always type hcloud server list -s name to sort by name.
since the -s flag is part of the list subcommand and not the hcloud base command, I cannot simply alias hcloud-"hcloud -s name" in my shell to default the sorting to "by name".
I think this could be implemented as part of the configuration toml.
I would expect the following behavior:
| config file | flag | result |
|---|---|---|
| not-set | not-set | sort by id (default) |
| not-set | set | sort by flag value |
| set | not-set | sort by config value |
| set | set | sort by flag value |
I would also volunteer to implement this myself and submit a PR, but I wanted to gauge interest first, before putting in some work and having the PR rejected.

Feature was implemented in #795 - see my comment here: https://github.com/hetznercloud/cli/pull/421#issuecomment-2220279864 Since the feature is now implemented I will close this issue as completed. Thanks for your suggestion!
