Description
Description
It leads to complicated solutions like https://github.com/pixelastic/oroshi/blob/master/scripts/bin/docker-image-list which I don't believe is necessary
Steps to reproduce the issue:
- create or pull some images if you don't have any
- docker images | sort -k5 -h
Describe the results you received:
image list NOT sorted by size
Describe the results you expected:
image list sorted by size
Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):
Probably caused by the fact that there is no tab character between the columns

Research direction
Start by tracing the docker images CLI command and the code that formats its image-list output. Reproduce the issue with several images and docker images | sort -k5 -h, then inspect the column separation and existing tests. Done means the displayed size column can be sorted numerically with the documented command.
