sort the options #80

I would find it very helpful if

csvq --help

were to return the Options sorted alphabetically.

If the options were to be sorted, do you think it would be more appropriate to sort by long-name or short-name?

ondohotola commented 1 year ago

Long.

The options I use regularly I know by heart (short versions) but when I look for something rarely used I look for the long ones as they are informative (even if I then use the short one).

I assume that’s the way for others too.

Is there any way to support this project? I use csvq in several workflows in my practice and a little company I run on a daily basis and can not imagine doing without it any more.

You may contact me directly off list, but another little (LaTeX related) project has “wish list” on Amazon for hardware, another has a PayPal account, things of that nature.

greetings, el

OK, I'll fix it later.

This project does not require financial support for now.

mithrandie commented 1 year ago

This fix is included in version 1.17.9 and later.

I added features without much thought, so the option names are not consistent, and it may be difficult to find them after all. I want to change the option names someday...
