Not at all. I'd rather not chew up a lot of option letters for this problem, as we're running short of option letters. So having an -N option (with subletters) is preferable. We just need a way to combine this with -k. Perhaps something like '-k3Nv,r', which would act like -Nv -r -k3 except that the -Nv and -r options are attached only to the -k option? Or even (more generally) '-k3--numeric,--reverse'? _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
