** Description changed:

  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).
+ Moreover, 'delete array' has recently been accepted for inclusion into
+ POSIX: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=544
