Yes, that is confusing. I have followed up to Pádraig about this.

, 2) the `-n` in GNU sort is different from the sort on MacOS (which has 
pos2 as pos1+1 instead of 0)…

GNU sort does that too; that's old-fashioned syntax that is not 
recommended nowadays; it's better to use the -k option. macOS 'sort' 
supports supports -k too, surely.
