Get rid of pr dependency and write the columns strictly
alphabetical for the given rows.

Before pr would attempt to write pages, thus if a page
boundary was reached, the output looked confusing as one
couldn't see there was a new page and the alphabetical
order was disrupted when scanning down one of the columns.

Fixes output for sizes with width < column width, too.

Fixes part of ticket #5680
