The man page is generated from 'sort --help', and there, we are trying
to favor brevity.  But it might indeed be worth adding to the 'info
sort' page.  I read that page, and notice that while '-c' and '-C' are
mentioned first, details about '-k' and '-s' are several screenfuls
away, so it is not obvious that those two options can affect the
behavior of -c.  You could help by reading that page, and finding the
spot(s) where adding a sentence would have helped you; if you could
propose the location and wording to add, then we can work with that to
turn it into a formal patch.
