  In Ansible, I want to use a plugin parameter. For example, the [`profile_tasks` plugin](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/callback/profile_tasks.html) supports a parameter to "Adjust the sorting output of summary tasks".
  
  I enable this plugin by whitelisting it in the `ansible.cfg` file by:
  
  ```
  [defaults]
  callback_whitelist = profile_tasks
  
  ```
  
  But how do I use the parameter supported by the plugin?
  
  Note: I just want to use it but I don't know how to. The document says "parameter" and normally I think the way to use a parameter is to "pass a parameter to a function/command line" so that's why I asked "how to pass a parameter". What I want to know is "How to use a plugin parameter".

  ```
  [defaults]
  callback_whitelist = profile_tasks
  
  [callback_profile_tasks]
  sort_order = descending
