#sort for moonx

Version 0.2.1 behavior is documented here. The support record separates local verification from published MoonX behavior; moonx examples use registry releases.

Sort lines of files or stdin:

moonx cli/sort names.txt
printf '10\n2\n' | moonx cli/sort -n
moonx cli/sort -t, -k 2 -u data.csv

Options include -r, -u, -b, -d, -f, and -i, plus -n numeric, -g general numeric, -h human numeric, -M month, and -V version comparisons. Repeated -k F[.C][OPTS][,F[.C][OPTS]] keys support field, character, and local comparison modifiers; -t BYTE selects a field separator. -z selects NUL records. -c/--check diagnoses the first disorder and -C/--check=quiet only returns status 1.

Comparison uses C-locale byte rules without changing environment variables. Blank-separated fields retain their leading separator run unless -b applies; case folding maps lowercase ASCII to uppercase, and human numeric order compares sign, suffix magnitude, then numeric value. Key ties use the whole record as the last resort and remaining ties retain input order. -R is recognized but rejected before reading input because the package has no audited deterministic seed contract.

The implementation remains bounded to in-process sorting and never creates temporary files. With no file operand, it silently reads stdin until EOF.

#Standalone metadata

Standalone --version prints exactly sort 0.2.1 followed by one newline. Standalone --help starts with Usage: sort, lists both metadata options, and ends with a newline. Both write to stdout, leave stdin unread, and exit with status 0. Exact-version publication and verification remain recorded separately in the support record.
