Public bug reported:
Option -s/--sort is supposed to sort the output, but doesn't. Attached
diff fixes the problem.
Actually, the patch fixes two unrelated bugs. One prevents sorting
altogether, another one shows up only when specifying several sorting
fields. The patch uses 'delete array' which is non-POSIX, but supported
by all awk versions currently in Debian (mawk, gawk, original-awk).
