Show git tags sorted by date

git, git-tag

Solution

The correct answer is:

git tag --sort=-taggerdate

`taggerdate` is the appropriate field. According to the git tag man page:

Prefix `-` to sort in descending order of the value.

`git tag` uses the same sorting keys as `git-for-each-ref`, which is where the sorting keys are documented.

Problem

How to list git tags in chronological order? (recent tags first) `git tag` only displays alphabetical order.
