In sort from GNU textutils 1.14, option processing seems to not work
quite right, though perhaps I'm misreading the Posix spec.
For example, I think that:
sort -r -t - -k 1 -k 2n
should have the same meaning as:
sort -t - -k 1,1r -k 2,2rn
but it does not seem to. (The latter invocation works as I would
expect, the former does not.) Enclosed is some sample input which
illustrates the problem:
-t
version-0
base-0
