feat: Sort by visibility about cargo-modules HOT 3 CLOSED

@RagnarGrootKoerkamp version 0.11.0 has just been published with support for sorting the output of the generate tree command via --sort-by <KEY> (where <KEY> is one of name, visibility, or kind) and --sort-reversed CLI options.

from cargo-modules.

Hi @RagnarGrootKoerkamp, thanks for the feature request!

Both, --sort-by-visibility and --pub-only seem like a well-motivated suggestion to me. However I try to avoid one-off features and/or options to the CLI tool, preferring more generalized approaches.

As such rather than --sort-by-visibility, I would instead prefer adding --sort-by <SORT_KEY> option, which I just did with #218.

As for --pub-only I would prefer something along a more general --filter-by. But this needs a bit more thinking. Please feel free to open a separate feature request for being able to filter the output (e.g. by visibility).

I just tried it and --sort-by visibility looks great, thanks for implementing this!
Good idea to also add --sort-by kind, I was thinking of that as well at some point.

--pub-only seems less necessary now, since sorting public items at the top already gives me a very good overview of exported items anyway.
