There are a lot of different ways to sort, and we'll burn through
the letters fairly quickly.  If we used a single letter, it should
probably be -h for df -h and -H for df -H, for sanity's sake.
But I'd still prefer a scheme that doesn't require a single letter.

How about something like "sort -k 3--ignore-case,--ignore-leading-blanks"?
Then you could get the effect that you want with "sort -k 3--si".
