The unix sort utility was written to be the only sort you'd ever need 
for text files or streams but it can get pretty weird if you need the 
optional character position offsets in the fields, multiple key fields, 
or some of the other options.   And the GNU version is one of many 
programs where you have to use 'info' instead of man to get the real 
documentation.
