+## Disable sorting of flags
+`pflag` allows you to disable sorting of flags for help and usage message.
+
+**Example**:
+```go
+flags.BoolP("verbose", "v", false, "verbose output")
+flags.String("coolflag", "yeaah", "it's really cool flag")
+flags.Int("usefulflag", 777, "sometimes it's very useful")
+flags.SortFlags = false
+flags.PrintDefaults()
+```
+**Output**:
+```
+ -v, --verbose verbose output
+ --coolflag string it's really cool flag (default "yeaah")
+ --usefulflag int sometimes it's very useful (default 777)
+```

## Supporting Go flags when using pflag
In order to support flags defined using Go's `flag` package, they must be added to the `pflag` flagset. This is usually necessary
to support flags defined by third-party dependencies (e.g. `golang/glog`).
