sort broken when using more than one -k's

[Thomas Sattler]

Hi there ...

Current busybox (1.4.1) seems to be broken in applet sort when more
than one -k's are used:

The example on http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html says

> $ echo -e "c 3\nb 2\nd 2" | sort -k 2,2n -k 1,1r

should result in

> d 2
> b 2
> c 3

which is what my (coreutils-6.4) sort does. busybox sort produces this:

> $ echo -e "c 3\nb 2\nd 2" | ./busybox sort -k 2,2n -k 1,1r
> d 2
> c 3
> b 2
