in reply to sort utility key specification

BrowserUk,

I think your command line switches are fine. One thing I would add is the ability to only have 1 copy of the line in the output. I use that all the time and I personally prefer '-1' over '-u' which I have to look up all the time.

Thank you

    -u is already enabled -- it's not mentioned as this post was only in reference to the key specifications. I can see no reason not to have -1 as an alias.

    The start of some sanity?
