#### Updates to existing commands
* Printing and output
  * Import a numeric ordering sorting library and use it in the sorting printer. ([#40746](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40746), [@matthyx](https://github.com/matthyx))

### CLI Improvements
- The kubectl's api-resource command now has a `--sort-by` flag to sort resources by name or kind. ([#81971](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81971), [@laddng](https://github.com/laddng))

- Fixed bug where kubectl top pod output is not sorted when --sort-by and --containers flags are used together ([#93692](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93692), [@brianpursley](https://github.com/brianpursley)) [SIG CLI]

- `kubectl get` no longer exits before printing all of its results if an error is found ([#70311](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70311), [@juanvallejo](https://github.com/juanvallejo))
- Fixed a runtime error occurring when sorting the output of `kubectl get` with empty results ([#70740](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70740), [@mfpierre](https://github.com/mfpierre))

- Prevent logging of docker config contents if file is malformed ([#95347](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95347), [@sfowl](https://github.com/sfowl)) [SIG Auth and Node]

- Do not fail sorting empty elements. ([#94666](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94666), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG CLI]

* `kubectl patch` now supports `--dry-run`. ([#60675](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60675), [@timoreimann](https://github.com/timoreimann))

*   kubectl `top node` now sorts by name and `top pod` sorts by namespace. Fixed a bug where results were inconsistently sorted. ([#53560](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53560),[ @dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))

- kubeadm: make sure the extra environment variables written to a kubeadm managed PodSpec are sorted alpha-numerically by the environment variable name. ([#126743](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126743), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
