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.
