How can I sort them (or other resoures) by age using

Answer 1

If you are trying to get the most recently created pod you can do the following

kubectl get pods --sort-by=.metadata.creationTimestamp -o jsonpath='{.items[-1:].metadata.name}'

Note the -1: gets the last item in the list, then we return the pod name
