Hello,
I'm happy to announce the first experimental release of the "decorate"
program.
'decorate' works in tandem with coreutils' sort(1) to allow new sorting
methods (e.g. IP addresses, roman numerals, string lengths).
This is a new program but an old idea, suggested by Pádraig here:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-coreutils/2015-06/msg00076.html

The program is part of the "datamash" package, and available here:
https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/datamash/datamash-1.5.17-735b.tar.gz
"./configure && make" should give you the "decorate" executable.
The rest of this (long) email shows usage information and examples.
All I have to say is _very_ nice!
The future --header and @filter options look extremely useful also.
thanks so much for taking the time to implement this.
cheers,
Pádraig
