What are the GNU Coreutils good for?
They are common Linux utilities of which some BSD equivalents are

Oh, there's a lot!
Should I install them too? (I've read about the difference in the
performance of the various randomizer solutions in the previous cited
StackOverflow-threads)
And if so, how?
homebrew

Aha!
Never thought I need this until now…
That means that the "stock macOS" on my Sierra 10.12.6 are older
than… what?
:) High Sierra ?
:-D
You're right, didn't even came to mind due to
a) iMac late 2012 with
b) FusionDrive and
c) learning about the disadvantages of APFS for non-SSDs.
I never used sort -R before, but as I wrote the manual has 2015 as a
date and Sierra was released in 2016, so I guess Apple saw fit to
upgrade sort for High Sierra.
Would you mind checking the date at the end of the sort man page on
your machine?
OH!
That's pretty old:

The full documentation for sort is maintained as a Texinfo
manual. If the info and sort programs are properly installed at your
site, the command
info sort
should give you access to the complete manual.
sort 5.93

Ok, I'll wait for the next one and the reconsider homebrew! :-)
Thanks!
