I understand, I'm sorry, I didn't know how to work with keys.
In this case I think it would be useful to give more information in the
man page. For example, add an EXAMPLES section with exactly this case,
or add a sentence to the -k option such as "several keys may be added in
order to sort by several fields" (or something like that).
Also, in the man page, I think it would be useful to precise the
difference between numerical sort (-n) and general numerical sort (-g).
(For example, I don't know the difference).
Thank you for your reply.
Friendly,
