That sounds good, what flags do you think you'll be able to support? Are you planning on using a particular sorting algorithm?

[sghahghahi]

We plan on supporting the following flags:

• -n : numeric sort (default sort is lexicographic)
• -r : sort in reverse order
• -u : only sort unique values
• -b : ignore leading blanks
• -f : ignore case

We plan on using a combination of both insertion sort and merge sort depending on the size of the input data.
