rasort issues

[Carter Bullard]

Based on a vote of 2 to 0, '^' wins.
The syntax will be

   rasort [-s [^]sorttag]

Where '^' denotes "invert the sort".

Hmmmm Like Mark, I think I prefer ^ as it is already used as to 
indicate negation or complement in some other contexts (like regurlar 
expressions) -- I guess that's why it occurred to you.
