Shorthand on the sort page

       --sort=WORD
              sort according to WORD: general-numeric  -g,  human-numeric  -h,
              month -M, numeric -n, random -R, version -V

is not going to be understood by the beginner. Sorry.

Only the Info page makes it clear what you are trying to say in this paragraph.
