  Would it be possible to have a page generator that  was effectively  
-inns:104:A:Z  ? I can then use i-intersect to filter it down to manageable 
levels?

  That's not what I meant.
  
  I  meant option sorting in terms of  re-ordering the command line options 
internally  so they are processed in an order that makes sense for the options 
selected, so I don't have to recall a specfic ordering when writing a command 
line in PAWS for example.
