Description

The proximate need comes from update deployments. Time order is pretty central to the concept of update history. In the console we want to display them by most recent first. But this is a pretty general concept that would be useful across many endpoints. You can easily imagine wanting to sort instances by created, or modified, or the last time runtime state was updated.
