+Sort the output CIDRs numerically by octet. The \(dqsort\(dq utility
+doesn't understand IP addresses, so the default pipe-to-sort approach
+fails in some cases:
+
+.nf
+.I $ echo \(dq10.0.121.32/28 10.0.93.248/29\(dq | hath reduced | sort
+10.0.121.32/28
+10.0.93.248/29
+.I $ echo \(dq10.0.121.32/28 10.0.93.248/29\(dq | hath reduced | sort -n
+10.0.121.32/28
+10.0.93.248/29
+.fi
+
+That failure justifies adding the additional option to hath:
+
+.nf
+.I $ echo \(dq10.0.121.32/28 10.0.93.248/29\(dq | hath reduced --sort
+10.0.93.248/29
