Oh god. Manually maintaining a list of headers... Yes, I could. But I won't. :-) > > Now, if hdr_order was able to intepret lack of an argument as > > "sort everything in alphabetical order"...

All the headers that match the same argument are sorted by alphabetical order. Simple, powerful and general. Make it implicitly anchored (arg -> ^arg$) and it's even compatible with the current syntax.
