I've spent some time thinking about it, and I respectfully disagree.

I don't think a `--sort` flag is a failure of composability, the producer understands image size semantics better than the sort command, you can either bake everything into sort, making it an all encompassing command or you can simplify the previous step with a sort flag.

Your original powershell command is way more verbose and complicated, and maybe that's the price to pay for composability, but I'd rather just use the `--sort` flag and not spend hours or days coming up with some other undocumented and undiscovered way of doing it, the answer is right there ready to be used.

I think my point is that it's a violation of the UNIX principle of doing one thing really well, but I don't think that is a violation of composability.
