Hi CoreUtil/SORT developer team:

Long time ago I used cygwing to sort file's content by the text
available on its 4th column in reverse order (under bash) using ___$sort
+4nr file.txt____ .

I have tried now same function with the latest cygwing and coreutils
sorting package (sort.exe 19-March-2010) and with those options does not
work; It says:
	$ sort +4nr ACCESS.txt
	sort: open failed: +4nr: No such file or directory

(I don't have the info on what old version was working fine, sorry)

Thanks in advance for really grate product
