[`lsmod`] Add an option for sorting output

Hello. 'lsmod | column -t' suits to enhance the readability of the output, not fully though. Unusual enough to be noticed, there is no sorting among displayed columns Module, Size, Used, by. Could you consider adding such option?

Personally I am leaning that deferring that to the user is the more scalable solution. It would be a PITA to add permutations, while keeping respective shell-completions/manual pages/help screen updated yet concise.

But to enable users, we should produce output in a more standardised format - say json.

Deferring to user or allowing user to exercise discernment is a valuable concept in learning. Here this user will have to be willing to acquire a rather high level of knowledge in order to produce coherent and readable command output. Regarding the format you mentioned, I am not qualified to assess its advantage and therefore cannot comment on it.
