sort -r reverses the sense of all comparisons.
If you are on linux try msort - it allows you to invert (-i) the sense of the comparison on a field by field basis.
Otherwise you will have to write a sort in perl or C or python... whatever you like.

etc.. The field specifies either a numerical attribute combinations consisting of type=value pairs separated by comma (e.g.
1=4,2=1) ; or the field may specify a plain string criteria (e.g. title. The flags is a sequence of the following characters
which may not be separated by any white space.
Sort Flags
o a - Sort ascending
o d - Sort descending
o i - Case insensitive sorting
o s - Case sensitive sorting
RETURN VALUES
No value is returned.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Sort Criterias
To sort on Bib1 attribute title, case insensitive, and ascending you would use the following sort criteria:
1=4 ia
If the secondary sorting criteria should be author, case sensitive and ascending you would use:
1=4 ia 1=1003 sa
