Thanks for the quick reply. Two points:
1. can you add a -p flag to force POSIX order (easier in many cases
than unsetting and resetting environment variables)
alternatively add an -e flag (followed by the environment setting)
this gives you a place to write about environment in the docs
2. textutils 2.0 still produces a more logical order than textutils 2.0.11
(from 2.0) -- note position of: b1-d_2
b_1-a
b_1-a
b1-a
b_1-d
b1-d_2
b1-d2
b1-d2
b1-s
b_1-w
b_1-z
b1-z
(from 2.0.11)
b_1-a
b_1-a
b1-a
b_1-d
b1-d2
b1-d2
b1-d_2
b1-s
b_1-w
b_1-z
b1-z
Thanks again, Jan
