Thanks for the quick reply.  Two points:

1. can you add a -p flag to force POSIX order (easier in many cases
        than unsetting and resetting environment variables)
   alternatively add an -e flag (followed by the environment setting)
        this gives you a place to write about environment in the docs

2. textutils 2.0 still produces a more logical order than textutils 2.0.11

(from 2.0) -- note position of:  b1-d_2

b_1-a
b_1-a
b1-a
b_1-d
b1-d_2
b1-d2
b1-d2
b1-s
b_1-w
b_1-z
b1-z

(from 2.0.11)

b_1-a
b_1-a
b1-a
b_1-d
b1-d2
b1-d2
b1-d_2
b1-s
b_1-w
b_1-z
b1-z


Thanks again,   Jan
