Show git tags sorted by date

Question

How to list git tags in chronological order? (recent tags first)

git tag only displays alphabetical order.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

In git 2.3.3 I can just do this to get them sorted by date:

git tag --sort version:refname
