Change print order and allow overlapping partitions

[Andrea G. Monaco]

Hello everyone,

I'm interested in two fairly simple features that seems missing and
would make my life easier, and many other people's too I think.

* Printing partitions in disk order instead of table order,
  with a command line option. This way it is easier to spot holes and
  overlapping partitions

* Being able to create overlapping partitions, with a command line
  option and maybe a warning. I came to desire this while I was
  manipulating the protective MBR in a GPT-partitioned disk: I wished
  to keep the first all-encompassing partition while adding another
  one starting at a specific point to chainload another MBR. But fdisk
  sternly refused.

It seems to me fdisk lacks these features. Am I correct? In that case I
can add them.

Warmly,
Andrea Monaco
