Jun 25, 2021 at 8:44 comment added user2856 Sorting alphabetically is ok when you're looking for a specific driver, but do note that the order that gdalinfo --formats outputs (and presumably the python API) is intended as that is the order that GDAL tries each driver when attempting to open a file. Can be important with certain formats when trying to figure out why a file is getting opened by one driver instead of the one you really want (e.g. some hdf and jp2 based files).
