+Two parameters are available to sort the list of images returned by
+these methods.
+
+* ``sort_key: KEY``
+
+  Images can be ordered by the image attribute ``KEY``. Acceptable values:
+  ``id``, ``name``, ``status``, ``container_format``, ``disk_format``,
+  ``created_at`` (default) and ``updated_at``.
+
+* ``sort_dir: DIR``
+
+  The direction of the sort may be defined by ``DIR``. Accepted values:
+  ``asc`` for ascending or ``desc`` (default) for descending.
+
+The following example will return a list of images sorted alphabetically
+by name in ascending order.
