	Somehow, I've had the -k options order reversed in the code
	above.  It should've read: … | sort -n -k 1,1 -k 3,3 | …
	instead.

	Note that there we're sorting numerically on the first field,
	too.  If that's undesirable, sort(1) is to be invoked twice,
	like: … | sort -n -k 3,3 | sort -s -k 1,1 | ….
