In-memory fine, initially.

Sort key regex (named, first group, whole match; like --section marker). Maybe multiple groups too?

Would be nice to have natural/human sort (see Unix sort flags).

Update:

Relevant Unix sort flags:

-n, --numeric-sort
-h, --human-numeric-sort (can be added later)
-r, --reverse
-k, --key=POS1[,POS2], "POS is F[.C][OPTS], where F is the field number and C the character position in the field"
-t, --field-separator=SEP (arguably, both this and --key should work like linesieve split)

It should also be possible to pass a regex key:

no groups: full match
numeric groups: ???
named groups: custom order, with flags like --key OPTS (a la linesieve parse name__value feature)
