Result sorting about diun

[vl-bwalocha]

Thanks for the response and the API link.
I've checked the API v2 documentation and indeed the response is ordered lexically:
listing-image-tags
There is no documented way to specify the sort order.
They only support limiting the result tag list (pagination).

I agree, analyzing all tag would be very bad idea.
We should call for all tags until they publish rational API endpoint.

I really appreciate of your work @crazy-max, superior work!
Have a nice day!

Hi @vl-bwalocha,

The results from (i.e. Static) provider are alphabetically sorted.

Actually tags are sorted as they arrive through the registry API. The underlying endpoint for Docker Hub to fetch tags for a repository is https://index.docker.io/v2/crazymax/cloudflared/tags/list. With this example the result is:

{
  "name": "crazymax/cloudflared",
  "tags": [
    "2019.10.1",
    "2019.10.2",
    "2019.10.4",
    "2019.11.0",
    "2019.11.2",
    "2019.11.3",
    "2019.12.0",
    "2019.9.0",
    "2019.9.1",
    "2019.9.2",
    "2020.2.0",
    "latest"
  ]
}

Then the order is reversed in Diun to have latest tags first but as you stipulated, the order is alphabetical through this endpoint.

What we can do here is analyze each tag to get his created date but it could be a cumbersome operation. Keep you in touch if I find something better.
In the meantime, grab all the tags 🚀
