Sort output of Get-Migrations ascending? - visual-studio

Question

By default, the Get-Migrations command, when run in the Visual Studio Package Manager Console, returns the list of Entity Framework migrations that have been applied to the target database in descending order. That is, the list is sorted to have most recent migrations first.
Is there a way to make Get-Migrations return the list of migrations in ascending order, that is, oldest migrations first, instead?
What I've tried so far:
Piped the output to the Sort-Object cmdlet, e.g. Get-Migrations [my params] | Sort-Object -Property Name (I'm not sure what property name to specify, or if this is even applicable?). All of these attempts silently failed (no error message displayed, no change in the Get-Migrations output).
Looked at the Powershell help for Get-Migrations (Get-Help Get-Migrations) and searched the web to see if Get-Migrations itself has a parameter that controls the output sort order. Couldn't find one.
Output of the Get-Migrations command I'm currently getting:
PM> Get-Migrations [my arguments...]
Retrieving migrations that have been applied to the target database.
201704121534436_SomeMigration999
201703291334212_SomeMigration998
[lots and lots more records here that are a pain to scroll through...]
201410110448547_InitializeTables
201410110018266_InitialCreate

Answer 1

Based on the provided sample output it seems the command returns text.
I'd split on the linebreaks, and the on the _ to get the 2 properties separated, be able to sort things afterwards:
#$migrations = Get-Migrations "..."
#test values
$migrations = "201704121534436_SomeMigration999
201703291334212_SomeMigration998
201410110448547_InitializeTables
201410110018266_InitialCreate"
$migrations.Split("`n") | ForEach-Object {
New-Object -TypeName psobject -Property #{
Date = $_.Split("_")[0]
Name = $_.Split("_")[1]
}
} | Sort-Object Name
