Kubernetes sort pods by age
Pods have status, which you can use to find out startTime.
I guess something like kubectl get po --sort-by=.status.startTime should work.
You could also try:
kubectl get po --sort-by='{.firstTimestamp}'.kubectl get pods --sort-by=.metadata.creationTimestampThanks @chris
Also apparently in Kubernetes 1.7 release, sort-by is broken.

Here's the bug report : https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/48602
Here's the PR: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48659/files
If you want to sort them in reverse order based on the age:
kubectl get po --sort-by=.metadata.creationTimestamp -n <<namespace>> | tac
