Hi, I'm sure this must have been spotted before, but cut -f2,1 produces the fields in the order 1,2 rather than 2,1. That seems wrong to me. Changing it would probably break a thousand scripts. But could we have an additional option to respect the order of fields given on the command line? It is a pain to rearrange fields with sed, though of course it can be done. Thanks, and keep up the good work. James
