Package: textutils
Version: 1.11-2

I'm not sure if this a bug but IMO it is very misleading.
Specified fields with cut aren't ordered as specified in output.

$ cat testfile
1       2       3
1       2       3
1       2       3
$ cat testfile | cut -f1,2,3
1       2       3      ~~~~~
1       2       3
1       2       3
$ cat testfile | cut -f2,1,3
1       2       3      ~~~~~
1       2       3
1       2       3

Perhaps it is intended to be this way. If so this needs to be more
clearly explained in the man/info page.
