Dear GNU,

I am using the sort command in  (GNU coreutils) version 8.13

I noticed the reverse option is not correctly applied if it has to sort by more than one column.

This behaviour is corrected by forcing again the type of sort.

This happens with -n and -g.

Example:

echo -e "930 7.83\n930 77.52\n930 54.09" | sort -n -k1 -k2r
930 7.83
930 77.52
930 54.09
echo -e "930 7.83\n930 77.52\n930 54.09" | sort -n -k1 -k2rn
930 77.52
930 54.09
930 7.83

Kind Regards,

Adrià and Deimos
