lensort - Sort lines of text by their length
This document describes version 0.002 of lensort (from Perl distribution App-lensort), released on 2018-07-26.
lensort [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Sample input:
one two three four
Sample output (lensort):
lensort
one two four three
Sample output (lensort -r):

This utility sorts lines of text by their length. The default is shortest first (if --reverse a.k.a. -r is given, will show longest line first). Lines with same length will be sorted by appearance (first in first out).
--reverse
-r
0 on success.
99 on command-line options error.
Show longest line first instead of the default shortest line first. Also, under -r line that appears later will be shown earlier (last-in-first-out) instead of the default first-in-first-out.
