usage: csvsort [\-h] [\-d DELIMITER] [\-t] [\-q QUOTECHAR] [\-u {0,1,2,3}] [\-b]
[\-p ESCAPECHAR] [\-z FIELD_SIZE_LIMIT] [\-e ENCODING] [\-L LOCALE]
[\-S] [\-\-blanks] [\-\-null\-value NULL_VALUES [NULL_VALUES ...]]
[\-\-date\-format DATE_FORMAT] [\-\-datetime\-format DATETIME_FORMAT]

\-c COLUMNS, \-\-columns COLUMNS
A comma\-separated list of column indices, names or

\-r, \-\-reverse Sort in descending order.
\-i, \-\-ignore\-case Perform case\-independent sorting.
\-y SNIFF_LIMIT, \-\-snifflimit SNIFF_LIMIT
Limit CSV dialect sniffing to the specified number of

\(dq\-1\(dq to sniff the entire file.
