allow sorting to be configured globally (closes #418)
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/#420) 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 (like in many other software that makes use of the Cobra framework), I cannot simply alias hcloud-"hcloud -s name" in my shell to default the sorting to "by name".
This commit adds a [defaults] section to the config toml which allows to override the default sorting behavior for individual hcloud subcommands.
The following behavior is used to determine the sorting-order
| 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 |

#795 will add the feature you described. Changes to how the configuration works were necessary to allow for a clean and extendable implementation. Here's how you will be able to set default sorting columns when #795 is merged and released:
$ hcloud config set sort.server name
Set 'sort.server' to '[name]' in context 'main'
Since this PR is stale and now outdated, I will close it. Thanks for your contribution and bringing this feature idea forward!
