rasort issues

[Carter Bullard]

Well the problem is that we're using "-r filename".
I'm not that excited about '^' but its better than
'~' and '!' which are all special to shells.

Does '+' make any sense?

   rasort -r filename -s +sorttag

that would work fine, an alternative is -r sorttag.

Not that I am at all fussed one way or the other!
