sort --debug

[Dan Jacobson]

Perhaps add a --debug option, so users don't write mail like the below
:-)

Kindly add an example to the sort info pages of how to sort
zip  utils
xdm  x11
cron admin
dpkg admin
lilo admin
menu admin
on the second field. No, -k 2,2 2,2b or whatever doesn't work. Better
yet, why don't you also add a --debug option, which outputs what sort
thinks the fields are. Wait, sort -k 2b,2 worked! OK, but still add a
--debug option.
