Yes. But try that with 'pr'. The problem is that it matches a
substring of "printing" too. Instead try 'pr invocation' to get to
the pr page.
$ info coreutils "pr invocation"

Newer versions now recommend the full "sort invocation".

I haven't researched it to root cause myself but many bug reports
indicate that it is an install-info problem in building the info
directory. Note that the Debian install-info isn't the same as the
GNU install-info. This is getting addressed.
