I am a bit surprised that it has never been suggested before but I could
not find any trace of it, so here it is:
Would it be possible to specify the sorting keys from the end of the
record, instead of the beginning. Something like sort -k-1,-1 to sort on
the last field of each record, sort -k-2,-2 for the second to last...
This would be handy when the format has a variable number of fields per
record but the last records are well defined.
