yes. ;-)

Thanks for the review.

BTW: Although I also reordered the fields in the description
in usage() and in the description of each field in coreutils.texi,
there's no explicit documentation about the default order yet.

Should I squash in something like this?

diff --git a/doc/coreutils.texi b/doc/coreutils.texi
index 53f7b58..cc9df7d 100644
--- a/doc/coreutils.texi
+++ b/doc/coreutils.texi
@@ -10687,7 +10687,8 @@ out of date.  This is the default.
 @itemx @w{@kbd{--output}[=@var{field_list}]}
 @opindex --output
 Use the output format defined by @var{field_list}, or print all fields if
-@var{field_list} is omitted.
+@var{field_list} is omitted.  In the latter case, the order of the columns
+conforms to the order of the field descriptions below.

 The use of the @option{--output} together with each of the options @option{-i},
 @option{-P}, and @option{-T} is mutually exclusive.


Have a nice day,
Berny
