bug: sort by time do not work correctly without explicit oneline output

[neg-serg]

Expected sort like in ls -cr or something similar at least. But without explicit oneline output it's broken now

v0.18.2 [+git]

eza --sort=time -l ( correct )
eza --sort=time -1 ( correct )
eza --sort=time (incorrect)
eza --sort=time --grid (incorrect)

Get (with wrong options)

eza --sort=time

But tail fixes it somehow again(expected order):

 ~/music ❯> eza --sort=time|tail

Thanks for reporting this. especially for the extra info about tail fixing it.. That really narrows it down cuz we know where we check to see if it's piped. :+1:

Hello! I've found that if font in terminal is small enough and you can print to output several columns(for example three columns) sorting is ok again.
