Yep.  That's the reason for the "compare-" prefix.  I didn't like
``--compare-version-sort'' for some sort of reason, too.  Ultimately,
someone pick another name if "compare-version" is aesthetically bad.

How about making it --sort=KEYWORD, with KEYWORD in
{general-numeric,month,numeric,random,version}?

That's what I thought.  But I suppose the single-letter
options that are valid now will have to be kept also?
