Description roberthuff 2014-10-29 16:29:58 UTC 
The functionality already exists; it needs to be directly exposed.  In a private exchange Baptisse (bapt@) has said it wouldn't be hard, but there are higher priorities.

I am submitting this pr so it gets on the TODO list.

Can you detail what is pkg_sort?
Comment 2 roberthuff 2014-10-29 16:55:50 UTC 
"pkg_sort" inputs a list of ports - with or without origins or exact versions - and outputs a list of those ports sorted in dependency (if any) order.  I believe this exists withing pkg - referred to as the "working list", yes?

Input can be from stdin or a file; output is to stdout, in a format suitable for piping directly to {portmaster, portupgrade, etc.}.

Does this answer the question?
